Positioning as a kind of missing link between the Stones and the Stooges, Teenage Head is the third album and peak creation of Flamin’ Groovies, a band who formed in the 60s when just teenagers. The musical format of hard-edged, updated rock and roll is enhanced by an aura of malevolence and mania which reaches its crescendo on the title track. Flamin’ Groovies look forwards and backwards simultaneously on this album, making Teenage Head another pivotal exemplar of classic rock.
