EXTD=h a vengeance on this album -- their best of their entire history

EXTD=eat. The original album on Atlantic was a monster seller thanks t
EXTD=o the title track, practically the group's signature tune (number
EXTD= one on the pop charts, number three on R&B), but "Groovin'" was 
EXTD=only one small strong point on the album of the same name. "Find 
EXTD=Somebody" marked a return to the group's garage band sound with a
EXTD= psychedelic twist, including phased fuzztone guitars and some ca
EXTD=tchy lyrics and choruses. "How Can I Be Sure" is the second-best-
EXTD=known song off of this album, but it has a fully successful compa
EXTD=nion piece, "I'm So Happy Now," which applies similar instrumenta
EXTD=tion to very different (but pleasing) effect. Gene Cornish's "I D
EXTD=on't Love You Anymore" could be the finest pop song in the band's
EXTD= repertory apart from "How Can I Be Sure," with a delectable guit
EXTD=ar part, scrumptious melody, and delicious chorus. "You Better Ru
EXTD=n" was more than a year old when it turned up on this album, and 
EXTD=its garage band sensibilities are a bit more primitive than those
EXTD= of "Find Somebody," but it's a great piece of rock & roll. The b
EXTD=and turns in one superb Motown cover, "A Place in the Sun," done 
EXTD=in a surprisingly subdued fashion. And for a finale, Cavaliere an
EXTD=d Brigati turn in an exultant period piece, "It's Love," whose so
EXTD=aring lyrics are matched by guest artist Hubert Laws' flute -- al
EXTD=as, his presence would point the way toward less effective, more 
EXTD=disjointed work in the group's future, as they moved more deeply 
EXTD=into psychedelia. -- Bruce Eder\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMe

EXTD=er 31, 2003\nReviewer: A music fan\nThis is one of the great albu
EXTD=ms of the 1960's. The Rascals are often slagged for being a singl
EXTD=es band. This assumption is far from the truth, many of their alb
EXTD=ums are excellent. This recording is where psychelia, soul, folk-
EXTD=rock, garage punk, and ethinic elements mesh successfully into on
EXTD=e cohesive offering. The hits (Groovin, How Can I Be Sure, and A 
EXTD=Girl Like You)do not a need further explanation. You Better Run i

EXTD=no burns with 60's experimention including backward cymbals and a

EXTD=sound excellent and they have not abodoned their soul roots. This

EXTD=eviewer: Kurt Harding "bon vivant" (Boerne TX)\nMy interest in to
EXTD=p-40 music had a very short lifespan; by the time I was 13 I had 
EXTD=left most of it behind to listen to all the great progressive mus
EXTD=ic that came out of the late 60s. One of the few exceptions is th
EXTD=at I always liked the Young Rascals and I still do today. There w
EXTD=as just something about their music which set them apart from the
EXTD=ir top-40 contemporaries. Groovin' was one of the top songs of 19
EXTD=67, but this album offers much more. First, there are the distinc
EXTD=tive voices of Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati, then there is t
EXTD=he robust R&B feel to much of their work with occasional flashes 
EXTD=of Latin influences. Groovin' contains lots of great songs:A Girl
EXTD= Like You, the romantic How Can I Be Sure, the title cut, If You 
EXTD=Knew, the jazz-inflected It's Love, and my favorite A Place in th
EXTD=e Sun which at almost 5 minutes long, was unusually long for a so
EXTD=ng of that period. There are only a couple of songs that didn't c
EXTD=ome through the remastering well, notably Find Somebody. If you g
EXTD=rew up in the 60s, this album will really carry you back. If not,
EXTD= the Rascal's joyful, uplifting, R&B tinged romanticism will make
EXTD= you a convert. I heartily recommend this CD which still sounds g
EXTD=ood after 30+ years.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGreat way to 
EXTD=daydream on days gone bye..., March 14, 1999\nReviewer: A music f
EXTD=an\nThis was a great album to bring back memories of '68 just bef
EXTD=ore the invasion of the heavy stuff. I think that the Young Rasca
EXTD=ls were the first to produce an album that had a continuous story
EXTD= that unfolded musically, that album was Once Upon a Dream, which
EXTD= is reproduced here as "Groovin", giving credit to one cut that r
EXTD=eally made the charts. It is unfortunate that Warner made the mis
EXTD=take of leaving out one song that was an important part of the en
EXTD=tire "musical trip" offerred by this album. In fact, although the
EXTD= tunes were there, the feel of the original vinyl album is gone. 
EXTD=Hey, Warner try it again and this time just reproduce the entire 
EXTD="Once Upon a Dream" album without the editing license.\n\nAMAZON.

EXTD=nown album is this 1967 release, thanks to the title track, the g
EXTD=roup's biggest-ever single. An infectiously lazy quasi-bossa nova
EXTD= with more hooks than really should be allowed in any one song, "
EXTD=Groovin'" is a stone classic, one of the best and most-beloved si
EXTD=ngles of the '60s.\n\nThe fact that GROOVIN' has another hit sing

EXTD=tic, spacious "How Can I Be Sure"--makes this by default better t
EXTD=han any of the Young Rascals' more scattershot and covers-heavy e
EXTD=arlier albums. The other nine tracks are cut from the same stylis
EXTD=tic cloth as the hits: more refined and quieter than their raucou
EXTD=s early hits, songs like "I'm So Happy Now" and "If You Knew" are
EXTD= delightful collisions of lite-psych and jazz-inflected blue-eyed
EXTD= soul. GROOVIN' is a delightful album and probably the best start
EXTD=ing point for this often underrated group.
