One of Rhino's exemplary two-disc compilations produced during the early '90s, featuring remastered sound, copious liner notes and more than enough rarities, ANTHOLOGY 1965-'72 is probably the best available (Young) Rascals anthology. All of the hits are here, of course--"Good Lovin'," "How Can I Be Sure," "Groovin'," etc.--but this collection also gathers goodies like early rave-up R&B covers, unappreciated album tracks and unsuccessful but often fascinating singles from the group's later years, when they'd added jazz and psychedelia to their original blue-eyed soul sound. At 44 tracks, these two discs are jam-packed, and both fans and newcomers will be pleased.
Wisely, Rhino used the superior original mono mixes whenever available, making this one of the few Rascals anthologies with no fake stereo.
Editorial Reviews
...most of this set is flat-out great...
Stereo Review (12/01/1992)
...a flavorful potpourri of jazz, soul, psychedelic-pop, and gospel, boasting a fair measure of overlooked delights that reflect the Rascals' unwavering taste and invention... - Rating: B+
