5.0 out of 5 stars OUTRAGEOUSLY DYNAMITE!!!, October 30, 2006

This review is from: Like Long Hair (Audio CD)

OUTRAGEOUSLY DYNAMITE + NASTY!! Kinda gritty audio quailty, mastered from the best available RARE CIRCA EARLY 60's LOCAL VINYL SOURCES. Mostly REALLY RAW NASTY INSTRUMENTALS ( including "Summertime" by George Gershwin and the title tune which is actually one raunchy transcription of Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp ) WITH LOTS OF OF COOL PIANO RIFFS + FUNKY SAX FROM MR. LINDSEY. Just a couple of tunes with vocals, and those are neato cool too. Drawback: Full Price Import Pricing for just about only a half hour of playing time, but worth it. If you have the Sony Greatest Hits, then you really ought to have this too, for they both represent the Raiders Very Best. Their early local, pre-Columbia output heard here remains relatively unknown unfortunately, for this really is a totally fascinating must hear. 3rd favorite Raiders album also a bit of a rarity, recently reissued by Koch, their Christmas Lp. It's worth seeking out too, along with this outrageous gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Have The Original LP!!!, July 19, 2007

This review is from: Like Long Hair (Audio CD)

This is before the Raiders hit it big on TV. A garage band,raw untamed all Instro album. Title track boogies with Paul's piano. Mark's sax is featured in All Night Long, a remake of Summertime(Mark again), Tall Cool 1 (Paulie)Wabash Blues & a tidbit of a tune called Concert in F Sharp!
S.2 rocks with Uncle Paul & Beatnic Sticks! Then Swingin' Shepard Blues, "GROOVEY". Love the Last Mile! (I ALWAYS blasted the cassettein the car) then "Road Runner". Next: a "howlin' Moon Dawg". The new CD has 2 B Side 45 cuts: Orbit & Sharon (a Mark vocal). A RARE & short but significant LP for die hard Raider Fans. Back to the 60's!

5.0 out of 5 stars early sixties boogie woogie rock, February 15, 2011

This review is from: Like Long Hair (Audio CD)

This one is circa 1961 type of cover songs and some new ones. Mainly a instrumental disc it had the hit single 'like long hair' on it. The band had two more of these type of records that have never been on cd yet sadly. A compilation would be a great idea! the price for this cd is sick, the price I paid was twenty bucks but these prices will never sell , a case of greed stopping sales. Anyways it's a good cd of this type of early rock boogie woogie style, driven by paul reveres piano. later they would be major contenders but this is a garage band doing it right for that year and this stands up really well from that era for sure.
