Prior to this, I knew the group as one from who you’d hear an oldie or the radio every now and then. Then I got to college, where this album was blaring at every outdoor fraternity party.<br /><br />The best thing about this album, for me, was the introduction of excellent deeper cuts such as “Catch a Wave”, “Girl Don’t Tell Me”, and especially “Let Him Run Wild”. The only real flaw is the rather sloppy inclusion of the original album version of “Help Me, Rhonda” instead of the single. A purist would also say the same of “Be True to Your School”, but I find the album track far less annoying than the single. As you say, this record is out of print, but one would get a pretty good introduction to the group’s pre-“Party!” work by creating a playlist with these tracks in this sequence.<br />trfesokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631886869696528704noreply@blogger.com
