Go All the Way: The Absolute Finest Singles from the 1970s Power-Pop Mavens
Vocalist Eric Carmen and Co. Deliver One Punchy Chord and Contagious Melody After Another
Britpop, Psychedelia, Pop, and Arena Rock Blends Drive Hits Such as Go All the Way and I Wanna Be With You
Mellifluously Airy Harmonies: LP Mastered on Mobile Fidelitys World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI
The matching Mod suits, trim haircuts, and youthful appearance werent just for play. The Raspberries looks extended to their irresistibly catchy and refreshingly concise music, a blend of bouncy Britpop, lazy-day psychedelia, mellifluous pop, and crunch arena rock that stands apart from the epic pomposity of most of the early 1970s commercial trends and continues to linger as some of the most expertly crafted sounds ever created. Over the course of four albums, the singles-minded group cut their share of memorable sides. Theyre all here on this 1976 compilation. And now, they possess a fidelity that even the original LPs lacked.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelitys internationally renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP extracts more information from the grooves, extending the spaces between instruments and breathing newfound life into the swirling vocal harmonies. The groups trademark singing is airier, the highs free of constraints, and the string-laden accents enriched with natural decay. Improved, too, are the quartets amplifier-driven chords and frisky drumming, aspects that possess a palpable crunch typical of British Invasion acts.
Adept at both gorgeous devotional ballads and upbeat, fist-pumping rockers, the Raspberries claim a multifaceted talent in leader Eric Carmen, a crooner whose capacity to turn on a dime from a sweet falsetto to searing cry infuses the bands tunes with emotional exuberance and bittersweet weight. He lends sentimental grace to epic piano weepers such as Dont Want to Say Goodbye and amiable snarl to carefree numbers like I Wanna Be With You. However, the Raspberries greatest asset relates to their harmonic prowess.
Multi-part group vocals on bounding, surf-referencing fare (Drivin Around) and catchy, summery material (Tonight) recall both the Beach Boys and Beatles. Yet the Raspberries bring a unique edge and R&B-etched rhythm to tunes that stand as proto power-pop staples. Thematically, the ensemble keeps lyrics as simple and memorable as its hooks, with a majority of songs speaking to the pleasures of romance and love. Breezy, fun, and indelible, its music that never goes out of style.
