5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent addendum to the first Rhino hits set, March 15, 2003

There's something really special about "the other hits" collections that end up being enjoyable than their more-popular first passes. This is one of 'em. Long OOP, and somewhat inessential to owners of Solid Zinc, it's still a splendidly enjoyable disc for those who already have "20 Greatest Hits" and don't want to splurge for the Solid Zinc set. From "Surfer Dan" to the sublime "Somewhere Friday Nite," this should be enough to convince *anybody* that the Turtles were more than their hits.

Everybody has a generation. The Turtles were stars in mine. These were songs that every rock radio station played daily in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These songs are forever tied to my life growing up, and America in those years. On the radio, on TV, even in the movies you would hear the Turtles. Few people know them today, most everybody knew them "then."

Many of these songs were hits. But I especially enjoy "Earth Anthem." This song is known mostly by people who bought the 33 1/3 RPM LP record, the 8 Track Tape, or the Cassette Tape.

Now days, many young people think that they are the first to care about the earth, that environmentalism is something new. What a laugh that is! The truth is that, "Earth Day" was first was spawned by the "conservation" movenent, largely Republicans or "conservatives," hunters, and campers, we were lead by Senator Gaylord Nelson and President Kennedy back in 1962. That evolved into the celebration of "Earth Day" in 1970! This was years before the birth, of the mothers of todays youth. Nearly 50 years ago, we cared about this planet, our planet!

Being "GREEN" is nothing new, we were "Turtles Green," back in 1969!
