Springing off of Music Head's brilliant review of Rascals' Freedom Suite I dug out an old vinyl copy of their Greatest Hits ! I love this album but like a lot of others,they are forgotten in a time warp until you are reminded of them again. I bought this vinyl 33 rpm when it first came out in 1968 at a local small department store(Kresges).

I was attracted to this group because of their R n' B soul sound that skyrocketed the 45 rpms Groovin', Beautiful Morning and Good Lovin' to number one as well as this album.

The other tracks are good especially How Can I Be Sure (love Eddie Brigati's voice) and covers of In the Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally.

I love this album and it's a pleasure hearing it again on vinyl even if I can hear some pops !
