Stuart's 1984 interview with Gil and Mark
(Preview)
Looking at Thomas' pictures got me thinking about those times. I believe I've mentioned here before that I interviewed Gil and Mark in the spring of 1984 when I was working for a small radio station in the Chicago area. I caught up with Gil in 1990 and gave him a copy and I gave Pete a copy a couple of summe...

May I ask... Does the Web master control the ads that appear above the forum, when a person signs on in here, e.g. the "Smileys with sound"? Those things are about to drive me to drink as I forget to turn my sound down when signing on in here.

I was spining Back To Earth this morning and it hit me that this is an underrated effort. While it doesn't bear much resemblance to the signature sound of Rare Earth, it's highly enjoyable. Side one is one of the best sides of any RE album in my opinion...It Makes You Happy, Walking Schtick, Keepin' Me Ou...

This week I pulled Tommy Bolin's album "Private Eyes" off of the shelf. For those of you who have heard this album, it's a great mix of rock, jazz, funk and latin. I was looking at the credits while listening to this underrated album. I completely forgot that Reggie McBride plays bass on this...

Ralph, I know you've said your brother Russ recorded the Chicago gig(s) for the unreleased album. Might it be possible to ask him about his recollection of the shows, recording, mixing, etc...I ask because I'm getting pumped up that I may have actually located a copy from someone.

I understand that Volume 3 of this excellent series will be released later this year. Is there any chance that this will include previously unreleased material by Rare Earth from the Motown vaults? Does anyone have any suggestions for inclusion?

Well, Jocko D started a great topic when he asked people to recall how they first got into Rare Earth. Well, there's been a few memories along the way for me, despite being in a land that Rare Earth never visited (I keep rubbing that one in Peter and Ray lol) and where the music press never wrote more than a c...
