Flamingo is the second studio album by the rock band the Flamin' Groovies.[5] It was released in 1970.[6] Following the group's departure from the Epic record label, it was the first of their two albums for Kama Sutra Records.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that Flamingo "is passionate, stripped-down revival music as it should be: It's riveting through and through, and brimming with a conviction contrary to the indulgences that marked San Francisco's music scene at the time."[6]
