5.0 out of 5 stars Don't know why there aren't more releases like this, January 16, 2004

I managed to track down the individual Japanese releases of the Raspberries on cd, but still picked up this and volume 2 when I saw them. While the Raspberries are probably not everyone's idea of a big '70's band, their four album catalog is filled with more great songs than any piddly greatest hits collection could ever hope to contain, and it's great to see them get the respect that they deserve. While the debut and "Fresh" were marginally weaker than "Side 3" and "Starting Over" on the companion volume to this set, they've still got some great moments that shouldn't be missed. Eric Carmen's vocal prowess is usually given a lot of the credit for the Raspberries sound, but Wally Bryson's Rickenbacker and Jim Bonfanti's maniac drumming were equally responsible, and at times carried the show. (Anyone who thinks that Dave Smalley was just along for the ride should pick up a copy of the Choir retrospective, "Choir Practice" on the Sundazed label. Dave was a talent in his own right.) Great stuff, but the best part of this collection may be the incredibly detailed liner notes, which are a great read while the cd spins.
Someone should do this with the first four Eric Carmen cd's.

You can't get in the USA. Hello England, God bless you. It was 1972/1973 and the British Invasion was kicking it in North America. As a child I would say with every request that the Beatles were the Artist of the song. But my homeboys fired the savoy back and stemmed the tide. I actually own the vinyls with the first having the scratch and sniff raspberries smell. This CD gives you their first two efforts as well as history on the liner notes. No scratch and sniff, you missed it by 20 plus years, but the energy and the excitement of the time are captured and -- well many can't play vinyl so buy it and relive the edge as if we are all children again.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT?! ..YOU DON'T OWN THIS!?!?......, September 11, 2004

At about the time that the RASPBERRIES were calling it a day,our teachers were talking about "THE NEW MATH"...some mysterious,ZEN-like thing that would sweep the country in days to come...Surely that is what the folks at CAPITOL were utilizing when they decided,that rather than releasing the FOUR 'berries studio albums,they would issue FIVE best of's (or was it six?)instead.Thankfully, the powers that be at RPM RECORDS don't think like a record company, and as a result we have all four albums on two CD's---GARSH--WHODATHUNK? AAAANYWAY,They sound great,the liner notes are a gas and if you've never heard of the RASPBERRIES that just means that you've never heard the RASPBERRIES.Save time,buy both and discover what a huge fan you really are..That's usually what happens.....
