The Young Rascals

Atlantic Records recorded this collection to reflect the blue-eyed soul movement prevalent in the clubs of the era. The focus remains on the balance between Hammond organ lines and vocal arrangements, which effectively mirror the intensity of their stage act.

Each track demonstrates a shift between interpretations of established rhythm and blues material and original compositions. The result is a steady transition across the record that retains the heat of a live set. This set documents a band comfortable moving between different styles while keeping a firm grip on the gritty atmosphere that defined their early career.
