Now Exclusive LP

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

Flamin’ Groovies played a major role in the evolution of power pop and are considered a forerunner of punk rock. Their 1978 album “Now” isn’t quite as cohesive as “Shake Some Action”, the album that preceded it, but in many respects the band sounds at once tighter and more relaxed, with some time on the road firming up the rhythm section while giving the songs a bit more room to swing (which wasn’t one of the strong suits of the British Invasion bands that provided their aural template).
