5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of garage bands., June 9, 2005

By

This review is from: Here They Come (Mlps) (Audio CD)

This album is best of the genre. The album was the "Bible" for thousands of garage bands during the 1960s, who learned all or nearly all of the songs, and performed them for countless high school dances. The overall style is similar to early Beatles, as found in, for example, "I Saw Her Standing There" or "Twist and Shout." The vocal style is reminiscent to that of Roger Daltry, especially his style of singing found on "Who's Next."

Mark Lindsay seems to have studied carefully the long tradition of blues shouters and soul artists dating from the 1930s to the 1950s. It is amazing that this album could be the product of a group of gentleman between the ages of 19 and 23.

The Raiders' "Louie, Louie" was a massive hit during the 1960s, on par with the Stones' Satisfaction. "Sometimes" is an unforgettable ballad, with a fine tune, and brash piano chords which connect directly with the central nervous system. "Gone" also has a fine tune.

In my opinion, "Big Boy Pete," "Oo Poo Pah Doo," and "Do You Love Me," should be put on a kid's compilation of rock'n'roll songs, along with "Yellow Submarine," "Hound Dog," the Coaster's "Little Egypt," the Four Season's "Big Girls Don't Cry," along with Devo's "Whip It," Devo's "Peek a Boo," Ray Stevens' "Ahab the Arab," and the Who's "Boris the Spider." What a fine and fun kid's compilation this would make.

5.0 out of 5 stars An INCREDIBLE remix job, May 31, 2005

I own the old vinyl version of "Here They Come" by Paul Revere and the Raiders. I always loved the raw energy of the "live side", early Raiders before we'd come to know and love them. But, the crowd noise.... all the screaming, well.... it detracted from the sound.

I have just received my new Sony Special Products CD of Here They Come... And, what a great remix. They've subtracted most of the screaming and extraneous noise, leaving just enough for you to understand the interaction between the Raiders and the crowd.

Man, is this fun. It's like hearing it for the first time. I always liked this album, but I had no idea how fine the music hiding behind all the noise truly was. Excellent.

BUY this CD, Raider fans. If you've never heard the CD version of Here They Come, you're in for a treat.

The energy level of this CD is high voltage, and it's the first LP they did for Columbia Records in 1964. Tracks 1 through 6 were recorded live before a studio audience and are: "You Can't Sit Down" ( a rousing instrumental featuring Mark on sax), "Money", "Louie Louie" (Columbia dragged its feet releasing this, giving the Kingsmen the hit of this song), "Do You Love Me" and "Oo Poo Pah Do", both with terrific talking intros, and "Big Boy Pete".

Tracks 7-12, recorded without the audience, are more laid back, and are: "Sometimes", "Gone", "These are Bad Times", "Time is on My Side", a sweet ballad penned by Lindsay/Revere called "A Kiss to Remember You By" and the best "Fever" ever recorded...it steams and sizzles.

Though this CD might have "rough edges", and the sound quality isn't the greatest, it's a gem. Mark's vocal talent is extraordinary, and the group is musically very tight...it's worth buying for that hot "Fever" alone !
