Rare Earth were an unusual group. They literally did their own thing. They had their own style. Rare Earth is one of those rare groups that I find difficult to compare to other groups because they set a standard rather than following one. You can clearly hear an array of influences in their music, but their music was their own. Their music was unique and fun, and I highly recommend this CD if you liked long rock tracks and funk from the early 70s, or if you like good rock music regardless of the era. I wish this music was more common, then or now. Enjoy!

Like another reviewer, I think it would be worth the price just because it is the repository (maybe the sole repository) of their classic version of "Get Ready". That is twenty minutes of some of the best music of the day, with each member taking his time to do a great solo on a classic song from back when rock stations were putting out some of their best work.
Unlike another, I was pleased to find the album-length version of "I Know I'm Losin' You". The rather psychedelic edge that the additional four minutes added was just fine by me. Moreover, I can recall how different that sound was from the radio version to which I had become accustomed back in the day. Finding these two treasures together in one place was splendid. Adding "I Just Want to Celebrate" and "Born to Wander" was just gravy.

A fabulous piece of work. Even without "Ma" this contains all the Rare Earth we need.

Tracklist:
1. Get Ready 21:29
2. I Just Want To Celebrate 03:36
3. (I Know) I'm Losing You 10:54
4. Born To Wander 03:19
5. Hey Big Brother 04:45
6. What'd I Say 07:19
7. Ma 17:18
