Gardena Records issued Paul Revere & the Raiders' debut album in the wake of the Top 40 success of the instrumental "Like, Long Hair," and much of it is in the same vein as the single, which is a boogie-woogie arrangement of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor." Pianist and bandleader Paul Revere and saxophonist (and occasional vocalist) Mark Lindsay lead the instrumental attack, as they boogie up such numbers as Gershwin's "Summertime" and also provide the group's covers of bar band R&B standards like "Road Runner." It's lively, if basic music, but offers little hint that the group would go on to make polished pop/rock in a few years.LINK: SUMMERTIME

Hi Pablo...would like to ask if you could complete the download url of this album...
Just came to your site the first time today, & was admiring the so many posts you have here; but Paul Revere material is hard enough to find let alone ever finding this rare album. I would certainly appreciate this request very much...
Thanks much
