Customer Reviews:

Gets better after a shaky start.......2007-06-13

The first track didn't impress me much; I felt the lyrics were a bit dumb. It does get better with the bluesier tracks and the second half of the cd is even better. Not as polished as Hair Of The Dog, but still worth buying and listening to.

We Got To Get It Together.......2007-01-29

This is how hard classic rock is done. My favorite Nazareth CD. Good from start to finish.

Badazzamanaz.......2005-09-04

What a great song! I grew up in the 80s, when all the hairbands were trying to copy stuff like this. I love the entire album, as it reminds me of Nugent, Foghat, Lynyrd Skynryd, Zeppelin, Purple, AC/DC, Sabbath and most of the better rockers of the 70s. It's a total hard rockin classic.

Nazareth's First Great Album.......2004-12-05

RAZAMANAZ is Nazareth's first great album. It contains two hard rock standards in the title track and "Broken Down Angel", plus other hard rockers that make the band sort of a Scottish answer to Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, Montrose, or Foghat. The band would continue this hot streak throught the 70s, so pick up all of their albums from this peiod, or at least get HAIR OF THE DOG and GREATEST HITS. Anyone who wants to slander their 70s albums, including this one, should first have to put in 25 hours of community service to earn that right.

NOT ORIGINAL RAZAMANAZ!!!.......2007-08-01

As stated in the previous review by J. Jagella this is not the original release of Razamanaz from 1973, nor is it the rerelease with 4 bonus tracks. This is an anthology where the powers that be could not come up with a new title to distinguish it from the classic album or maybe that was their plan. This disc does, however, have 16 good to great songs on it. If you will see the review mentioned above you can see the correct track listing. There are hits you will recognize like My White Bicycle, Expect No Mercy, Morning Dew, Love Leads to Madness, This Flight Tonight and Razamanaz the only song from the original release to make this disc. There is also a fantastic orchestrated version of Love Hurts here. Many of the remaining songs are obscure or at least not on any of my 5 CDs or 18 albums. After listening, though, some of these songs have merit like When the Lights Come Down, Kentucky Fried Blues [Expect No Mercy-1979], a cover of Ruby Tuesday and Dear John [Nazareth-1972]. Other tracks include Cat's Eye, Apple Pie [Excercises-1972], Freewheeler and the Ballad of Hollis Brown [both from Loud 'N' Proud-1973]. The majority of the songs I know are from 1972-1981, but there are only 4 I am unfamiliar with.

Be advised this is not Razamanaz, except in name. It is a decent anthology, though, spanning much of their first decade of music releases. If you can find this at a fair price [ <$8], it is an excellent buy. If you are looking for greatest hits then try either Classics Volume 16-1987 or Greatest Hits-1996 [Backlot series]. Both have the same songs [17] in the same order, except greatest hits has 1 extra track, which is a live version of Cocaine. Classics can usually be found rather cheaply and was a part of A&M's 25th anniversary collection. The good thinng about this Razamanaz collection is that it contains tracks from the older warner Brothers releases. I gave this a 5 because it is a great affordable selection of songs not because of the false advertising. Extremely good listening!!!

Let the Buyer Beware!.......2007-06-20

I'm thoroughly confused. The songs on this album are mostly different from the songs on the Razamanaz album I'm familiar with. Yes, the first song is Razamanaz, but after that the songs listed here at Amazon are incorrect. The correct song listing is the following:

1.Razamanaz
2.When the Lights Come Down
3.My White Bicycle
4.Expect No Mercy
5.Kentucky Fried Blues
6.Free Wheeler
7.Cats Eye Apple Pie
8.The Ballad of Hollis Brown
9.Love Hurts
10.Ruby Tuesday
11.Animals
12.Juliet
13.Dear John
14.Morning Dew
15.Love Leads to Madness
16.This Flight Tonight

All of the songs on this CD are good or better, but just know what you're getting. If you like Nazareth, and you're not looking for all the songs on Razamanaz, then you'll love this compilation.

Customer Reviews:

Real rock.......2007-06-14

I have been to three concerts my whole life. Nazareth was one of them around 1975 or so in Amsterdam Holland. It was in the winter. My buddy and I rode our mopeds for 1.5 hours to A'dam, freezing our a***s off. Had a shot of jenever every 1/2 hour or so. By the time we got back, our feet were frozen and we were pretty toasted. The music brough back this memory. GREAT!

Oh they are Bad bad Boys.......2006-11-09

Truly one of my favorite hard core bands....It's a must have for your collection. 6 Stars

Makes Black Sabbath Sound Like Child's Play!.......2004-04-25

After two unsuccessful albums, Nazareth decided that hard, ferocious rock would be their calling card from then on. The result was the mighty "Razamanaz", one of the greatest hard rock albums ever, and one that makes anything by Sabbath sound lame in comparison.
Of course, the title track is a blistering display of guts and aggression, right up there with Purple's "Highway Star" and Sabbath's "Paranoid". Turn this bad boy up real loud and be prepared for an adrenaline rush like you've never experienced before! The riff is a slightly modified version of Deep Purple's "Speed King", but this does not detract from it's greatness, believe me. Other than the first part of the riff, it actually sounds nothing like "Speed King" at all. Anyway, great, vicious vocals from Dan, and Manny gets in his usual scorching guitar licks (if you think this is wild, it's nothing compared to the first live version on BACK TO THE TRENCHES, which makes this studio version sound almost boring!). The band's take on Leon Russell's "Alcatraz" is equally ferocious, with a pounding riff and that great, sinister beat. "Vigilante Man" is fantastic, mainly because of the way it goes from a slow, bluesy tune to an all-out furious rocker. Great, great stuff. The re-make of "Woke Up This Morning" from the EXERCISES album is great fun. A nice, bluesy tune. "Night Woman" has a drum beat that sounds a lot like Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love", but the tune is glorious. One of those great sing-along types. Very catchy. "Bad Bad Boy" is one of my personal favorite Naz tunes ever. KILLER song! Spectacular riff, and you just gotta love the way Dan wails out "I'M A BAD BAD BOY, AND I'M GONNA STEAL YOUR LOVE!". It just makes me lament the fact that these guys were so damn underrated. "Broken Down Angel" was of course the big hit on the album. But, as is usually the case with radio hits, it's nowhere near the best song on here. Great chorus, though. And "Sold My Soul" isn't anything special, just an evil-sounding, Black Sabbath type of song.

"The Moment Has Come To Deliver...".......2003-10-22

First thing's first: The title track is simply the wildest, most aggressive, monstrous, blood-pumping hard rock song ever recorded. Play it loud, play it VERY loud. It'll give you a rush of adrenaline like you've never experienced. This song alone is worth the price of the whole album. "Alcatraz" kicks maximum a** and features a brilliant guitar riff. "Vigilante Man" can get kind of tedious at times, but generally, it's a great song. "Broken Down Angel" was the hit, but it's not really one of the band's best songs. The rest of the songs are good but "Razamanaz" and "Alcatraz" are two of the greatest hard rock jams ever.

Pounding Rock.......2003-05-28

If you never hear anything else by Nazareth give this a listen. There's some "in your face" rock here. The title track rocks hard and "Alcatraz" , written by Leon Russell of all people, is another heavy hitter. "Woke up this Morning" is probably my favorite song here, the drums sound great. There is also "Vigilante Man", a slow starting song that explodes towards the end. "Sold my Soul", as dark a song as it's title, has great beat and rhythm. Razamanaz, a predecessor to "Hair of the Dog", is no slouch. It's my favorite by Nazareth, but I haven't heard much of their other material. What I have heard doesn't sound this good except the song "Hair of the Dog".

MOTTAMANAZ.......2001-05-19

The title of this album says it all really, just say the word "Razamanaz" and you know it's time to party. With the release of this album, Nazareth had one of the most unusual albums to roar up the charts in 1973, not unusual in musical content, as it is a straight ahead, smack between the eyes Rock `n' Roll album, but in the company it kept at the upper reaches of the charts, considering this was the time of either Glam-rock (Sweet, Slade, T-rex etc) or highly avant - garde progressive rock (Yes, E.L.P., Jethro Tull) so to see a bunch of geezers from the heart of Glasgow, Scotland up against them caused many a backward glance, but shoot up the charts it did, attaining a high of No. 11 in the British charts. No mean feat for a band that had previously only released 2 albums, both recorded and promoted on small budgets, being honest, neither of them were truly representative of their wild stage act, mostly filled with ballads, where as this little baby is choc-a-block full of rockers. The Razamanaz album was a turning point in changing the fortunes of these Scottish rascals for the better. The basis of any good rock band is a solid rhythm section, these positions were filled by one of the nicest guys in Rock `n' Roll the aptly named Darrel Sweet on Drums, with the flamboyant and must have in your stage line up, Pete Agnew on Bass. If that was the engine room, then the decorations were laid on thick by Manny Charlton, Lead Guitar. (Who's catch phrase must have been "If you've got it flaunt it" as sprayed all over the songs, is wah-wah, fuzz box, feed back, and loads of slide guitar). Out front was graval voiced vocalist Dan McCafferty, who must of gargled with broken bottles every day to keep the chords in such rough shod order. The production work of Roger Glover the bassist from Deep Purple should not be overlooked as he encouraged the band to go for the throat & enjoy themselves, which they certainly did, having not only a hit album, but 2 top ten singles in "Broken Down Angel" & the wonderfully politically incorrect "Bad Bad Boy" with it's boisterous lyrics of "She was the apple of her daddies eye, but when that woman looked up at me, & I said honey we'll be together till the day I die............. Well I Lied!". Mind you on the following song "Sold My Soul" Dan McCafferty sounds as if he's singing from the bowls of Hades itself, so perhaps what goes around comes around. Nazareth built their reputation as an all action party band, and this studio album was a great representation of the live animal, over the next 3 decades the influence of Nazareth can often be heard especially in bands like "AC/DC" & "Guns & Roses". So if you want to hear the original, get out & get yourself Razamanazed. Mott the Dog.

Three classic albums.......2005-05-08

The title speaks for itself ! 3 of their best albums in the hard rock mold. It's like having led zeppelins I, II and III.
Go for it !

This is a bargin.......2001-03-14

Thank you, whoever you are, for issuing these three albums together for one low, low price. Well it's not that low, but it's still a bargin. The most impressive thing about this package is that you get the REAL version of Hair of the Dog. The original release that DID NOT include that over played atrocity Love Hurts (it is included here as the weakest of the bonus tracks). The liner notes will inform you that the band left this song on the cutting room floor in disgust. Only later did some genius release it in America as a single, which did wonders for their career but has provided a lifetime of embarrassment for Nazareth fans. All three of these albums kick serious a-- and should be owned and listed to by everyone who gets into the real stuff. Why buy one when you can get them all?
