IT’SNAZ is a double live album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in late 1981. The full album title is It’s Naz but the artwork spread the title, in block-capitals, fully over the outside of the gatefold-sleeve: when not opened only ‘S NAZ is visible on the front. The back of the original album cover includes the letters “I” and “T” causing many to misinterpret the title of the album as “‘Snaz” which is incorrect. That no space was left between the ‘S’ and ‘NAZ’ seems deliberate, as contemporary adverts for the album in the music press write it as IT’SNAZ. The band’s official website gives the title as It’s Naz. The album was recorded at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in May 1981 during the band’s 1981 North American tour. The band recorded several of the dates on the tour but felt this one show was fine in its entirety. The album was mixed at The Manor, Oxfordshire. In 2011 Salvo Records re-released the album with additional material from a Seattle concert together with “Crazy (A Suitable Case for Treatment)” and the German version of “Morning Dew” (titled Morgentau). Salvo’s CD 1 comprises sides 1-3 of the original vinyl (tracks 1-15), while CD 2 consists of side 4 of the original vinyl, expanded with bonus tracks.
Originally released on A&M records in 1981, Snaz is one of the better, and least recognized, live ’70s (as a style, not necessarily a period in time) hard rock recordings. Unlike more recognized ’70s metal artists like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, and others, Nazareth – even in their Hair of the Dog heyday – never were able to put much “heavy” into their heavy metal guitar attack when they recorded in the studio. There wasn’t much of a thump coming from the drums and bass either, and the overall affect was a wimpy sound that didn’t nearly serve the band’s fine material as well as it should have. All of this left Nazareth’s otherwise respectable ’70s studio recordings with much to be desired sonically. Recorded live in Vancouver, Snaz is a production and engineering highlight in the band’s career. The energy and recklessness of Nazareth’s material is much more palpable on these live versions, and while things get a little sloppy at times, it’s never distracting. Fans of Nazareth simply must add this record to their collection of essential band releases.
