Nazz ? "Twenty / Twenty Hindsight" The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label ?TAKRL 1936 US 1st press
Unofficial Compilation Vinyl, LP.
The vinyl appears to have been lightly played and is in great condition. It played through beautifully on my elderly stereo - no hop, stick or jump. The sleeve shows obvious signs of use, but is generally in good shape, with no rips or writing. Matrix/Run Out Side 1 : TAKRL : 1936-A Matrix/Run Out Side 2 : TAKRL : 1936-B
The cover consists of a Xerox pasted on generic white cover. Blank light yellow labels with just "SIDE ONE" and "SIDE TWO" printed on. This LP contains no live recordings or outtakes it's more like a "Best of" compilation with studio tracks from the first three albums.

"Here is some information on Nazz from Wikipedia in case you'd never heard of them:
The Nazz was an American rock band formed in Philadelphia in 1967 by guitarist Todd Rundgren and bassist Carson Van Osten. Rundgren wrote virtually all of the group's original material. Drummer Thom Mooney and vocalist/keyboardist Robert "Stewkey" Antoni joined before their first concert, opening for the Doors in 1967.
The band released three albums (Nazz, Nazz Nazz, and Nazz III) and are best known for their 1968 debut single "Open My Eyes" backed with "Hello It's Me". Following the group's disbandment in 1969, Rundgren pursued a solo career, and in 1972, recorded a new version of "Hello It's Me" that reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100"
This LP is more of a pirate than a bootleg, the cuts have been taken from the first three Nazz albums. It is on the Kornyphone label with a printed insert. Bowie also mentions "The Nazz" on his Ziggy Stardust LP so I wondered what it meant. Here is a brief explanation:
As used by David Bowie on Ziggy Stardust, nazz means the hippest, most magnetic of beings. He clearly lifted this term (and many other phrases) from the 50's--60's beat poetry of Richard "Lord" Buckley whose poem The Nazz is a jive iteration about Jesus of Nazareth."
Side One: Forget All About It / Not Wrong Long / Magic Me / She's Goin' Down / Hang On Paul / Kiddie Boy / Wildwood Blues
Side Two: Loosen Up / Open My Eyes / Rainrider / Only One Winner / Hello It's Me / Meridian Leeward / Under The Ice
