And I already did a Raspberries post a long, long time ago. I think it included but thier 'greatest hits' and a live boot, something like that. However, I DID NOT have the 'original' Raspberries discs, and as this was a favorite band of mine as a lad (10 years old or so), it's thrilling to me to be able to put up the original recordings, no joke.

Four albums here sent from my new pal John N (dude seems to have most ever album released in the history of the planet).starting out, their self titled debut included perhaps their best/best known single ('Go All the Way'), which, over 40 years later still sounds great to THIS old man.it also contains some unknown stuff of similar sound and quality such as 'Rock N Roll Mama' and 'Don't Want to Say Goodbye'.good album, IMO, NOT 'just' a singles act.good stuff here. Later that same year, they released 'Fresh', perhaps not as good, but with another stellar lead-off single 'I Wanna Be With You', and, again, if you actually listen to the album, there is some good shit here ('filler'?).' Let's Pretend' was a good song and a minor hit, 'Drivin' Around' was pretty good.you get the idea.

You're either gonna thank me for these, or you're gonna think I'm losing it.joke is on you fucker, I lost 'it' LONG before now! The third LP, 'Side 3', also blasted out a couple of power-poppin' singles, notably 'I'm a Rocker' and 'Tonight', and if I remember correctly, this album had a scratch/sniff sticker on the cover which smelled like (wait for it) Raspberries.oh we were so creative in those magnificent 1970's.all in all though, this is not a bad LP either. Fourth, and finally, John N sends us their Capitol finale, 'Starting Over' (sort of an odd title, wonder what the story is behind it).again, some rocking good poppish singles notably the title track and 'Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)'.all in all, these are good albums.
