RARE EARTH Earth Tones The Essential Rare Earth (1994)

Rare Earth is an American rock band affiliated with Motown's Rare Earth record label (which was named after the band) who were particularly famous in the late-1960s and 1970s. Clocking in at 75 minutes, this single-CD release is probably as much Rare Earth as most casual fans want (even though it only contains nine songs), and as a mid-priced item it's doubly attractive. Among the highlights included here are the nearly seven-minute long, promo-only version of "Warm Ride," and the nearly 11-minute version of "(I Know) I'm Losing You," the 12-minute version of "I Couldn't Believe What Happened Last Night," the killer 21-minute "Get Ready," plus the more modestly proportioned "Hey Big Brother," "Ma," "I Just Want to Celebrate," and "Satisfaction Guaranteed." Motown also has a double-CD anthology which features an additional hour of music and then some, but that's more than twice as expensive and only intended for the most serious fans. The sound is also a selling point, this collection have originated from Polygram's stewardship of the Motown library, all first-generation tapes processed through state-of-the-art digital technology.

Rare Earth - Ma (1973)

Rare Earth began as an R&B band called the Sunliners in Detroit in 1961. Of the musicians who would be part of the band dubbed Rare Earth, only sax player Gil Bridges and drummer Pete Rivera were present. John Parrish joined on bass in 1962. Rod Richards became a guitarist with the group in 1966. Keyboardist Kenny James came into the fold the same year. After years of doing the club circuit, the group changed their name to Rare Earth and released Dreams/Answers on Verve. The album received little reaction and the group was picked up by Motown Records as the first act on their yet-to-be-named new label. Rare Earth suggested to Motown that the label name their new subsidiary after the band and Rare Earth Records was born.

Ma is Rare Earth’s most satisfying LP, Norman Whitfield wrote and produced all five songs. “Ma”, the title track, had been done by Temptations and Undisputed Truth but nobody rocked the sucker like Rare Earth; they jam for 17:17 on the funkiest mama song ever. “Hum Along and Dance,” first appeared on the Temptations’ Psychedelic Shack; Rare Earth gives the groover and update, a rolling organ sets it off. Lead, Gil Bridges brags about his musical ability on the loud, horn dominated stomper “Big John In My Name.”A haunting arrangement of “Smiling Faces Sometimes” will make you shiver. And you don’t get much more sensual than the soft and lush “Come With Me,” where a female simulates an orgasm that puts Donna Summers’ exhibition on “Love to Love You Baby” to shame; it’s the only new song on the LP, but who’s quibbling, MA is da bomb!
