Free Music Review: Kicks! The Anthology 1963-1972
Hit: 5 Stars
ESSENTIAL ALBUM!!! If you want only one disc by the Raiders this is the one to get. It has all the significant hits and a few of the best album tracks. It's on the Australian label, Raven, and, go figure, is the single best disc on this American group. This cd has a total of 30 tracks so you're getting a lot for your money. This collection has one song, "Louie, Louie", from their debut Here They Come. There are three songs, "Just Like Me", "Steppin' Out" & "Action", from their second album Just Like Us!. There are four songs, "Kicks", "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone", "Louie, Go Home" & "Ballad of a Useless Man", from their third album Midnight Ride. There are five songs, "Hungry", "The Great Airplane Strike" (the single version, actually), "Good Thing", "Why? Why? Why? (Is It So Hard)" & "Louise", from their fourth album The Spirit of '67. There are five songs, "Him or Me- What's It Gonna Be?", "Mo'reen", "Gone- Movin' On", "Tighter" & "I Had a Dream", from their fifth album Revolution! There is one song, "Peace of Mind", from their sixth album Goin' to Memphis. There are two songs, "Don't Take It So Hard" & "Too Much Talk" (both songs are actually the singles versions), from their seventh album Something Happening. There are two songs, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon" & "Cinderella Sunshine" (both are actually the singles versions), from their eighth album Hard 'n' Heavy (With Marshmallow). There is one song, "Let Me!" (actually single version), from their ninth album Alias Pink Puzz. There is one song, "Just Seventeen", from their tenth album Collage. There are two songs, "Indian Reservation" Their only #1 hit) & "Birds of a Feather", from their eleventh album Indian Reservation. Finally, there are two songs, "Country Wine" & "Powder Blue Mercedes Benz", from their twelfth album Country Wine. There is one more song, "Ups and Downs", that wasn't on a studio album though it was included in the Raiders' Greatest Hits.
There's very little that I can disagree with pertaining to the selection of songs. Every major hit is here, a few of their best album tracks are here. (Just from a personal standpoint I could put together a two disc set of the Raiders that would be mind boggling!) I would have loved to seen "1001 Arabian Nights" (Spirit of '67) & "Do Unto Others" (B-side from a single) here at the expense of a couple of songs that are here. This is just about as complete as a single disc collection can be. There are five Top 10 singles, there are six more songs that made the Top 20, three more songs that entered the Top 40 & six more songs that made the Top 100(is that REALLY a hit?). There are four songs not included here that did make the charts but not a one of them are worth quibbling about.
All in all, this is an excellent compilation; it has a song from almost every studio album that they released. How much more comprehensive can it be? I actually prefer this compilation over the Legend of Paul Revere compilation. It's a two disc set but there are a lot of songs there that the casual fan of the Raiders wouldn't be interested in. This is The one collection to get!
P.S. For those that are interested I've included a list of Raider songs that I would like to see put together in the comments section that's included in this review.
