Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sundazed Music continues their Paul Revere & The Raiders series with new expanded editions of four more Raiders ‘60s album classics. The new reissues include the group’s all-time classic album Midnight Ride (produced by Terry Melcher and recorded by the original group in ‘66), Goin’ To Memphis (the Raiders soul album released in (‘68), Hard ‘N’ Heavy (With Marshmallow) (3/69), and lastly, Alias Pink Puzz (7/69). Sundazed packs their new Raiders CDs with key information, original artwork and liner notes. As he points out in his new liner notes for Midnight Ride, original Raiders’ bass player Fang claims that while the group’s first two albums Just Like Us and Here They Come were basically covers albums, Midnight Ride (leading off with the Barry Mann composition "Kicks”) was the first album to showcase the group’s own considerable writing talents. The Raiders will always be remembered for great singles like "Just Like Me” and "Kicks”, yet as these album reissues point out, their talents were far more considerable.
