[quote]Hungry for Kicks Singles & Choice Cuts 1965-69 does an effective job of chronicling the majority of Paul Revere & the Raiders' biggest hits from the mid- to late '60s. Most of the familiar radio tracks are featured, including Kicks, Hungry, and Good Thing. Also included are the 45 versions of seven tracks and several great album cuts, many of equal quality to the hits. Tracks like Why Why Why (Is It So Hard), Ballad of a Useless Man, and Louise are would-be chart-toppers that got away. What separates this set from similar PR&R compilations is the omission of the R&B cover versions that were prevalent on their original LPs. Raucous and fun as they are, the discarded R&B covers leave the listener focused on the Raiders as an innovative pop band as opposed to the kings of frat party rock. Rev-Ola did a fantastic job putting this package together, with rare photos, picture sleeves, and informative liner notes.[quote]
