After the tentative, privately-issued 10-inch mini-album debut 'Sneakers', the Groovies made the transition from San Francisco also-rans to genuine contenders with a trio of peerless albums - 'Supersnazz', 'Flamingo' and the particularly magnificent 'Teenage Head' - for major labels (Columbia's Epic imprint and Buddah subsidiary Kama Sutra). Bolstered by sundry outtakes, alternative versions and single mixes, those three albums now appear under one roof for the first time with 'Gonna Rock Tonite!', a complete anthology of the band's studio work during the pivotal 1969-71 timeframe: halcyon days that ended in late 1971 when Loney abruptly quit the group he'd formed just a few short years earlier.
