Rare Earth was Motown’s first successful “white rock band”—an awesome, rocking, soulful ensemble—whose body of work deserved more than that initial, brief description. Now, for the first time, all of the original core band’s five albums, plus all of their non-album singles, are available on the 3-CD set Fill Your Head: The Studio Albums 1969-1974.
Rare Earth fans, rejoice: The collection not only contains newly remastered editions of Get Ready, Ecology and Ma, its release marks the CD debut of One World and Willie Remembers. For all the included albums and singles, tape research and audio mastering were painstakingly conducted over several months. The result is a fantastic sound that’s miles beyond any of the album’s previous digital incarnations.
The title Fill Your Head is a nod to the Rare Earth label’s original slogan. The unique outer box pays homage to the label as well: a curved top that re-creates the original design of the first five Rare Earth label LPs. Additionally, inside is an accordion-like holder for the three discs, which displays exact mini-reproductions of the original LP jackets. An accompanying 32-page booklet features an essay by noted author Scott Schinder.
Fill Your Head celebrates the collective work of group founders drummer/lead singer Pete Rivera and saxophonist/flautist Gil Bridges, bassists John Persh and Michael Urso, percussionist Eddie Guzman, guitarists Rod Richards and Ray Monette, and keyboardists Kenny James and Mark Olson. What a ride they had:
Get Ready, the band’s Motown debut, is highlighted by the side-length title track, a Temptations’ cover which, when edited, became a massive hit. Their second album, Ecology, features the hit “(I Know) I’m Losing You,” another Tempts’ cover, as well as “Born To Wander.” One World includes another of their signature cuts, “I Just Want To Celebrate.” Willie Remembers features original band material, from the pop hit “Good Time Sally” to the 12-minute “I Couldn’t Believe What Happened Last Night.” In 1973, the sprawling, darkly funky Ma, with Norman Whitfield at the helm, was the last album to feature this Rare Earth lineup until a reunion in the late seventies.
Rare singles on the set include several non-album B-sides as well as “Hey Big Brother,” the band’s Top 20 single not on any album, and “Chained,” a single produced by Frank Wilson, one of their final recordings of the era.
Fill Your Head: The Studio Albums 1969-1974 encompasses the energy, musicianship and soul offered by one of the rocking-est bands on Motown.
