REVIEW
by Keith Pettipas, AMG
While this is not one of the band's best albums, it is a notable piece of mid-'70s British rock music and deserves to be released for collectors and fans alike; it's also a companion piece to the band's first two albums, previously released as a double CD by Angel Air. The name Snafu, for those who are wondering, comes from an old RAF expression, "Situation Normal -- All F*cked Up," which aptly describes the play on words in the title of this album.

BIOGRAPHY
by Keith Pettipas, AMG
Snafu was formed in 1973 by former Procol Harum and Freedom vocalist Bobby Harrison along with Mick Moody, formerly of Tramline, the Mike Cotton Sound and Juicy Lucy. With Colin Gibson from Ginger Baker's Air Force, Terry Popple from Mickey Jupp's Legend, and session musician Pete Solley, the band released two critically acclaimed albums for the WWA label in 1974, Snafu and Situation Normal. In 1975, Solley left the band to be replaced by another session musician, Brian Chatton, and Tim Hinkley was recruited to complete the lineup that would record the band's third album, All Funked Up. This album has been seen as the band's "great lost album" because of its limited vinyl-format release, originally on the Capitol label. Shortly after the release of this album in 1976, Snafu broke up.

REVIEW
by Fred Thomas, AMG
Formed in 1973 by former Freedom/Procol Harum contributor Bobby Harrison, short-lived heavy rock/boogie blues act Snafu took their name from an old Royal Air Force expression: "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up." Joined by guitarist Micky Moody, the band produced just three albums before their 1975 breakup, the second of which was Situation Normal. The album is marked by the inclusion of Pete Solley's occasional violin playing, at times adding a country tone to the group's blues-rock foundation.
