This collection is marred by abbreviated versions of "Get Ready," "I Know I'm Losing You," and others. For fans who didn't purchase individual albums, though, this is a good overall view of their work…
Led by lead singer and drummer Peter Hoorelbeke (a.k.a. Peter Rivera), Rare Earth started out in Detroit as The Sunliners and tore up the Motor City club scene in the mid- to late-’60s before signing to hometown Motown. The platinum album Get Ready (1969) was then followed by the gold Ecology (1970). Attesting to the band’s reputation for live performances, five years later it released what would be its last gold album, Rare Earth In Concert.
