Release date: 08-02-2002 (reissue from original 1966 album)

2002 US vinyl LP limited edition , pressing on HQ 180 gram virgin vinyl-The (Young) Rascals were one of the best American bands from the classic mid to late 60's era of rock. Most of their best stuff is found on this set (although I wish they'd found room for "It's Love"). The mastering is good, and I applaud Rhino's decision to present the material from the first few albums in mono (the stereo mixes are way too 'ping-pongy'). An essential addition to any collection of classic 60s rock music. Paul M. Ramey. stickered & sealed.

Many rock bands augment their sound in the studio with additional musicians, but with the exception of having guitarist Cornish overdub electric bass, the Rascals' first album mostly sounds like the Rascals live. They were great innovators, including Cavaliere's use of Hammond organ, Cornish's varied and contrapuntal guitar lines, Danelli's precision and power, and the three part harmonies including the remarkable Brigati. I have listened to this album with great pleasure for the past 32 years, and probably will continue to do so for the rest of my life. -Dean L. Surkn amazon.com
