With the Groovies' Greatest Grooves (Sire), primo garage honchos The Flamin' Groovies have been properly memorialized. At the roots of nearly all later garage rockers, the Groovies' twenty-year-plus career spanned the format's germination, sprouting and widespread reseeding. The Embarrassment wasn't around quite as long as the Groovies--only from 1978 to 1983. It suffered the fate of many garage bands of the period: Until the bigger independent labels, and then the majors, picked up on outfits from Athens, Georgia, the rootsy garagers were ignored while the main stream industry pushed an endless line of synthesized English dance-floor twits.
