The Rationals - Temptation 'Bout To Get Me / Live At The Grande Ballroom Nov. 27 (1968 us, sharp and raw garage 'n' blues, 1995 Alive Vinyl issue)


Recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom in November 1968, this finds the group using a much heavier hard/blues rock approach than they took on their singles, concentrating on blues,R & B covers. It has its use as a document of where they were at during this era. The sound quality isn’t really great (poor I would say), but  the onus is probably more in value as a documentary  heritage.
by Richie Unterberger (the half)

  3. Thanks for the re-up, isn't Richie Unterberger just the worst critic of the music we love?

  4. Unterberger shouldn't be a music critic - he obviously can't open his ears and try to appreciate music that isn't in his handful of favorites. There are a million styles of music for a million different people and preferences, I am not sure why his opinions have to be slathered all over the internet like he is some authority. Let the listeners decide.
