Rare Earth's Get Ready stands out as a spirited fusion of rock and soul, marking the band's Motown debut with a set of reimagined covers that pulse with grit and groove. Their marathon take on "Get Ready," famously trimmed for single release, showcases a compelling blend of extended jams and lively saxophone improvisations by Gil Bridges, adding a jazzy twist to the Temptations classic. Alongside this centerpiece, the album dives into funky versions of "Feelin' Alright," "Tobacco Road," and "Train to Nowhere," all propelled by Peter Rivera's fervent vocals and tight rhythm work. It's an album where the band’s knack for reconstructing familiar tunes pays off in a fresh, energetic package—proof that sometimes, the cover can outshine the original without trying too hard. This pressing from 1970 brings Get Ready to vinyl with exceptional cleanliness and visual clarity, graded nearly as pristine as the day it left the factory. The record's focused listening appeal suits those who appreciate a well-crafted blend of rock and soul textures, delivered by a compact ensemble that plays with precision and passion. For anyone interested in a slick yet soulful groove session, this copy offers both a compelling musical experience and a collectible artifact in impressive near-mint condition. Rare Earth’s ability to stand tall without ego shines here, making this a solid find for those keeping their shelves as sharp as their ears.
