Snafu chronology

Snafu is the first album by Snafu; it has an unusual funky tone for a band that is essentially a rhythm and blues outfit. The album was issued on the short-lived WWA record label, founded in 1973 by Black Sabbath manager Patrick Meehan and was produced and engineered by Vic Smith.

"Drowning in the Sea of Love" had been released, in the United States, the previous year, as a promo single by Capitol.[1][2] In 1974 the track "Goodbye USA" was released as a single, b/w "Dixie Queen" (written by Peter Solley), on the Vertigo label in the Netherlands.[3][4]

Cover art

The cover art, including photography and the entire gate-fold sleeve inner, is by Roger Dean. The front cover image detail, apparently of an Eastern ploughman in a paddy field with two water buffalos, is revealed to be, in the full-sized inner image, the same scene on a record player turntable.

All tracks are written by R. L. Harrison and M. Moody, except where noted.
