The Young Rascals – Groovin' / 45RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

The Young Rascals' 1967 album "Groovin'" is the culmination of a collective that Rolling Stone boldly called "the blackest white group of them all" in 1970. With three Top 10 singles and an experimental set of pop tunes,

the album ranks alongside Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, Forever Changes by Love and Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane as one of the seminal recordings of 1967.Mastered from the original

master tapes by Krieg Wunderlich, Mobile Fidelity's numbered vinyl lp presents "Groovin'" in fully restored mono. In addition, the carefully produced restoration includes "A Beautiful Morning," an early million-dollar hit from 1968

that reached the third spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first release under the then-new Rascals name. Seldom have blue-eyed soul and harmless optimism sounded more infectious than on this audiophile reissue.

Of course, no track on "Groovin'" is more famous or well-known than the title track, which is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" collection. As the birds chirp and the congas echo,

the Young Rascals paint a picture of bliss with R&B harmonies and a laid-back harmonica that sends the listener into ecstasy.

Limited to 5,000 copies.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
