2.0 out of 5 stars Give us the original albums!, March 30, 2004

Two stars is probably too low but I want to make a point:

How I hate "edited" (=mutilated) tracks! For instance, why wasn't it possible to include the whole 18 minutes GET READY in this compilation? All we get here are a ridiculous 3 minutes of it.
Similarly, KEEPING ME OUT OF THE STORM is cut off before the
killer guitar kicks in, and many other tracks are shortened
as well. Why on (rare) earth isn't it possible to release their original albums??
Foremost Get ready, Rare Earth Live (one of my top 5 live albums), Midnite Lady (Wine Women and Song alone is worth your money), Back to Earth (the latter
is a strange beast on vinyl; gorgeous first side, forgettable second side) are sorely missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good turn on, July 27, 2011

I agree this is not the greatest collection but it's still 2 disc worth of material that has been remastered fairly well with a deluxe booklet &photos that's very informative.The product is manufactured by Universal/Motown so it does'nt have that el'cheapo look to it. For the price it's offered at it's a steal.
