Bittersweet in a way. This cut tells me that the Pete led Rare Earth still had plenty of gas left in the tank in 1974 (despite the gas shortages of the time, lol).

I agree Stuart. They had so much going. But it is what it is...fate sucks sometimes.
I aksed my dad about the shortage at the time. He remembered it quite well. "A pain in the ass it was. That's when I started riding motorcycles...you could get your money's worth on a tank of gas".
The whole of the Frank Wilson sessions album would have put MA to shame. Perhaps the holy man at universal is listening............ listen good to the fans for a change instead of the suits.
THis is classic RE greatness;What a shame these knucleheads broke up when they did;
I certainly wouldn't call the guys knuckleheads
Yes, it's sad they did break up. But it is what it is. No going backwards. I can only imagine the craziness going on. I wouldn't dare ask the guys about it because it's not my business. Pete's book sheds some light on things. Even though that's one side of the story, I've no doubt that it's pretty straightforward and honest.
