4.0 out of 5 stars Essenatial is Sensational !!!!!!!, March 11, 2006

The First time I heard this Cd when our Local Library had a copy and what an Improvement it was over the Double Cd of The Legend Of Paul Revere not only did they pick the best for this one Cd but the Mastering of this sounds so much better !!!! I was also very suprised of 2 tracks that were put on here the Alternate version of Hungry with the explicit lyrics and the Extended Version of The Great Airplane Strike all the hits and album favorites are on here the only problem is that they left off 2 of my favorite songs of this era like There She Goes off of Midnight Ride and Undecided Man ( which sounds like a Poor Mans Version of Eleanor Rigby) off of Spirit of 67 but other than that a Cd you gotta have in your Selection now Im waiting for a Part 2 of this Cd of the later hits!!!

What a brilliant american group very listenable and very poppy,the songs featured are altenative versions or unreleased all their major hits are on here well the ones that made the hot 100 in america at the time. England never welcomed them in the charts and they never sold here really either such a shame that a lot of people missed out on their stuff at the time the compilation comes with a very very informative book lots of wonderful pictures and passing words from the group members themselves you would be a fool not to buy this wonderful collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a Great Party!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Essential Ride 63-67 (Audio CD)

This CD proves that good party music is timeless. Mark Lindsay's vocals and the strong instrumental and vocal support from the rest of the band has lost nothing of its fervor or drive, with age. The music feels as fresh to me now, as it did when I first heard them at the age of 10. An excellent compilation of 'the Raiders' during their heyday. My nieces and nephews became 'Raiders' fans listening to my scratchy vinyl collection; we have regained them in this CD and other re-releases. I wish material from 'Collage' was also available ...

Regarding the playlist: the tracks listed as 'previously unreleased', aren't - I have them on the 'Pickwick' label, 12-inch vinyl.
