Nazz is the self-titled debut album by psychedelic rock group Nazz. It was released in 1968.
The track "Open My Eyes" was accompanied by a promo video, directed by Ray Dennis Steckler. The album also featured the original version of what would become guitarist Todd Rundgren's signature song, "Hello It's Me", when Rundgren re-recorded it several years later as a solo single for his double album Something/Anything?. Nazz peaked at number 118 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart[2], while the single "Hello It's Me" peaked at number 66 on the Pop Singles chart[3].
The album was remastered and rereleased in 2006 with bonus tracks by Sanctuary Records Group.
