Contrary  to the common perception, Rare Earth  were not the only white band to have been signed to Motown; but as far as I know not only were they the 1st ones to have done it (although reluctant when they were firstly contacted, since they were aware Motown was only oriented for the Black market and feared not getting the necessary promotion, the band finally agreed after learning the label was going to open up a sub-division consecrated to white bands – that did not apparently happened, but who cares?),as they also  definitely were  the only successful whites the label ever signed, and the 10 years duration of their contract is there to confirm it;

That said, if they were not the inventors of the sub-genre, at least they were the 1st band to deserve the Blue-Eyed-Soul tag (even if their sound overflows that somewhat restrictive notion); and although a reincarnation of the group which was still doing gigs not long ago, is probably one of the innumerable attempts to cash on past glories, the truth is that in their prime time, Rare Earth exuded an irresistible appeal with their lilting, muscled  and organic style, which probably only racial prejudices could prevent from becoming a band idolized by all types of audiences.

This album includes all it took to make theirs such a revered sound, one that could unobtrusively cross boundaries, a trend growingly accepted, but still no small feat at the time. With Pete Rivera keeping a punchy yet flexible drum beat and singing imposing lead vocals, Kenny James responsible for a greasy and rhythmic organ sound that spread from psychedelic washes to jazzy runs, and soulful piano work, John Parish holding a steadfast and reliable bass anchor, Rod Richards whose normally saturated tone gave the band a distinctively Rocking edge and Gil Bridges whose sax is often waiting for its cue but is then both capable of providing wailing ornamental patterns or  Jazzy excursions when called for, and with everybody sporadically contributing on vocals, these guys although no virtuosos, had the necessary skills to keep temperature levels high and offer no opportunities for the listeners to loose interest;

The Smokey Robinson penned “Get Ready”, which gave the band their biggest hit, with their version surpassing the success of the original and of many covers such as The Temptations’, is here included in a side long live version that confirms the groups potential while on stage; as for the studio material, it proofs the band had a special flair to pick up and a special gift to rearrange tunes, that no matter how many times they’d been covered they’d always find something relevant to add, thus avoiding any sort of filler stuff,  and most importantly, inject them with a dose of good humor, soulful interpretations, and infectious grooves that make this an album which is a pleasure to listen to from top to bottom ( and you risk feeling the impulse of spinning it once more when it’s over).
=========================================================================
I'm sure this album always surprises most casual listeners of this band when they first hear it, as it contains some extraordinary fuzz guitar driven comm hard rock, that sounds quite unlike the sound they developed later in their career. Containing a few covers and some great period flavor, as well as a hint of soul, there is also some minor use of horns that shouldn't turn off non-fans. A really fantastic and highly consistent album, my fave of their output. Grades - 2 A-'s, and 4 B+'s.
=======================================================================
In the early 70s we played and danced to this song (get ready) again and again. I never did get tired of it. I remember I air-played the solos of each instrument exceedingly well as well! The other songs are mildly enjoyable and merely serve to fill up the other side because there simpy has to be another side, hasn't there? But the song alone merits this album 5 stars.
