Rare Earth-Get Ready (1969)

Rare Earth was a strange, different and rare band within the Motown record label, this label recruited black artists who made soul preferably, however Rare Earth were white and made rock.
In 1969, thanks to their guitarist Dennis Coffey, they signed for Motown but under a subsidiary seal.
The legendary soul company did not regret this decision, between 1970 and 1980 Rare Earth would achieve six great successes in the North American charts.
The style of the band was a muscular soul-rock and especially impetuous in the instrumental passages.
Their first album "Get Ready" would reach number twelve on the sales charts, with material composed mostly by the band itself and producer Norman Whitfield.
Although the star song was a volcanic version of the "Get Ready" song of the Temptations, quite different from the original with a duration of 21 minutes where with a devastating introduction, a hypnotic central part and a long instrumental part, it left the listeners breathless with such a musical orgy.
