The first rock band to sign to Columbia Records (CBS) they generated an incredibly impressive run of 25 hit singles in the American charts! This is probably the definitive introduction to this revered band! Check out such classics as ‘Him Or Me – What’s It Gonna Be’, ‘Steppin’ Out’, ‘Kicks’ and of course the original version of ‘Steppin’ Stone’ which is rated as by far the best by many rock fans. All tracks have been re-mastered and they have never sounded so good!
HUNGRY FOR KICKS: SINGLES & CHOICE CUTS 1965-69 does an effective job of chronicling the majority of Paul Revere & the Raiders' biggest hits from the mid- to late-'60s. Most of the familiar radio tracks are featured, including "Kicks," "Hungry," and "Good Thing." Also included are the 45 versions of seven tracks and several great album cuts, many of equal quality to the hits. Tracks like "Why? Why? Why? (Is It So Hard)," "Ballad of a Useless Man," and "Louise" are would-be chart-toppers that got away. What separates this set from similar PR&R compilations is the omission of the R&B cover versions that were prevalent on their original LPs. Raucous and fun as they are, the discarded R&B covers leave the listener focused on the Raiders as an innovative pop band as opposed to the kings of frat party rock. Rev-Ola did a fantastic job putting this package together, with rare photos, picture sleeves, and informative liner notes.
Personnel: Mark Lindsay (vocals, saxophone); Freddy Weller (guitar); Paul Revere (organ); Keith Allison (bass guitar); Mike "Smitty" Smith (drums).
Liner Note Author: Andy Morten.
Record Collector (magazine) (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Singer Mark Lindsay oozed a spirit of teenage lush; producer Terry Melcher captured the energy of their Pacific Northwest garage/frat roots but honed it into pop appeal..."
