Reviews Customer Reviews for Kicks The Anthology 1963 1972      almost perfect from the tri-cornered ones      Rating:      I watched these guys on "Where the Action Is", collected all of their 45s (even "SS 396"/"Corvair Baby") and always believed they could do more with four chords than anyone else around. That said, their albums really weren't all that good (I had three), so an anthology like LEGEND OF PAUL REVERE hasn't appealed to me. What I wanted for years was a thorough collection of the 1963-72 45s together with some of the more interesting album cuts. This is very nearly that ideal collection. The mastering is pleasing and on the whole, a job well done. Thank you, RAVEN! Quibbles: IMO the band's strongest single release was "Good Thing (still gives me chills) b/w "Undecided Man" and both of those songs should be here. "Undecided Man" was The Raiders' answer to The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" - Mark Lindsay singing over a very agitated string quartet of staccato violins and a pronouncedly legato cello. It's unique and brilliant. Also, "Do Unto Others", the flip side of "Peace of Mind", should be here. To make room, I'd omit "Ballad of a Useless Man" and "Why, Why, Why". Both are filler and I'd want nothing which sounds like filler. PS. Anyone remember the picture sleeve for "Too Much Talk"? It was a photo of the U.S. Capitol dome!! How fab was that?     Customer Reviews for Kicks The Anthology 1963 1972 Cd      Paul Revere & The Raiders Anthology      Rating:      This has every single that made the top 40 and more by Paul Revere & the Raiders. The single greatest collection of songs by this group on one CD. Great sound quality and liner notes, you can't ask for anything more.
