ON THIS DATE (54 YEARS AGO) September 30, 1969 - Rare Earth: Get Ready is released # ALL THINGS MUSIC PLUS+ 5/5 # Allmusic 4.5/5 stars Get Ready is the second studio album by Rare Earth, released on September 30, 1969. It reached #12 on the Billboard 200 Top LPs & Tapes chart and #4 on the Billboard Top R&B LPs chart. The title track reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #20 on the R&B chart. Rare Earth put their album together quickly in the Motown studio on West Grand Boulevard, recording from 2am to 8am for five nights in June 1969. In addition to “Get Ready,” they cut versions of Traffic’s “Feelin’ Alright” and of “Tobacco Road,” a John D, Loudermilk number which originally began life as a country tune. “We had so many great songs that it was hard to pick the ones to record,” recalled Rare Earth lead singer/drummer Pete Rivera in his autobiography, Born To Wander. “We had always gotten a really strong crowd response from it,” Rivera added about “Get Ready,” but noted that their rock rendering was “decidedly different” from the Temptations original. “It seemed to appeal to both white and black audiences on so many levels.” It also required no more than two takes in the studio. “About four minutes into the first take, we screwed up and started again,” he wrote. “When a song is 21 minutes long, you usually don’t take it again for a while.” (For more on Rare Earth, read here.) That 21-minute marathon occupied all of the second side of the album. But it didn’t attract much attention until Motown released a three-minute edit as a single, when R&B radio stations in several cities began playing it. “The brothers and sisters loved the tune,” recalled Rivera. “Motown promotion men had no trouble getting it on R&B radio.” Months earlier, when Get Ready was released, the record company pressed up the first 5,000 vinyl copies with a die-cut, semi-circular LP jacket. "What you'll hear on these two sides will be Rare Earth music - put together and perfected through tireless hours on stages, on the road, and in the recording studio."- John Small, cover notes __________ RECORD WORLD, October 25, 1969 GET READY RARE EARTH-Rare Earth RS 507. Get ready for this. There is one side devoted to the group's funky and never tiring "Get Ready." The boys like the contemporary blues and show that they're masters of it on this album debut. The jacket, rounded at the top, is a new label policy. __________ BILLBOARD, November 1, 1969 - Special Merit Picks RARE EARTH-Get Ready. Rare Earth RS 507 (S) Motown, the first and last word in the pop - soul market, is out to do the same in rock. Their Rare Earth label, featuring distinct packaging to mark the youth - appeal diskery from the rest of rock, gets its feet wet with the label's namesake group, Rare Earth. The Detroit quintet offers steady, but imitative rock, showing their electric credentials on a side -long version of the Temptations' "Get Ready," as well as covers of Traffic's "Feelin' Alright' and Savoy Brown's "Train to Nowhere." A competent beginning for a future rock competitor. Promising groups include the Pretty Things and Love Sculpture from England. TRACKS: Side one 1. "Magic Key" (Gil Bridges, Kenny Folcik) - 3:57 2. "Tobacco Road" (John D. Loudermilk) - 7:11 3. "Feelin' Alright" (Dave Mason) - 5:03 4. "In Bed" (Lynn Henderson, Tom Baird, Wes Henderson) - 3:01 5.
