Gardena Records issued Paul Revere & the Raiders' debut album in the wake of the Top 40 success of the instrumental "Like, Long Hair," and much of it is in the same vein as the single, which is a boogie-woogie arrangement of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor." Pianist and bandleader Paul Revere and saxophonist (and occasional vocalist) Mark Lindsay lead the instrumental attack, as they boogie up such numbers as Gershwin's "Summertime" and also provide the group's covers of bar band R&B standards like "Road Runner." It's lively, if basic music, but offers little hint that the group would go on to make polished pop/rock in a few years. - by William Ruhlmann

The Woggles are a band that seems to have stepped straight out of a Nuggets anthology, and they've been that way since 1987, spinning out singles, EPs, and full-length albums that carry on as if the world of rock & roll & pop stopped dead in the mid-'60s when it arrived at garage rock. (Allmusic)
Bonus should be on FRONTPAGE!
A GOOD ONE!
