From their last album before Eric's first solo venture, this was the first release, too long for traditional AM stations, the radio version was much smaller than the 5-plus minute version I have here. A new line-up couldn't save the band as they broke up a short time later. Enjoy! One of my favorite 70's bands! I saw Eric's solo tour with the Beach Boys exactly 3 months after this album found its way to the cut-out section on the heels of "All By Myself" Eric blew The Beach Boys out of the water!

    I was in high school in the mid-70's and my friends and I just about wore out my copy of their Greatest Hits. This is such a great piece of production :  tuneful and funny.

    I've just heard this wonderful, wonderful song played on BBC Radio 2 and it reminded me how great it is. Thanks to you I can play it again right away :)

    If you mean compared to some of there earlier work I would agree. This was near the end of the groups heyday.

    Eric has an awesome rockin' voice and the Raspberries were one of the best 70's bands!

    Did they deliberately fade the track at 4.20 to catch out novice DJ'S?

    How this wasn't a Top Ten hit in the UK is beyond me.
