The Rascals - The Rascals Anthology 1992

The (Young) Rascals Anthology 1965 - 1972 (Rhino 1992) size: 228 mb bitrate: 256 VBR Lame This anthology collects songs from the 10 albums The Rascals recorded between 1965-1972. Included with the set is a 50-page booklet featuring rare photos and liner notes written by Lenny Kaye. The Rascals: Felix Cavaliere (vocals, piano, organ, guitar); Eddie Brigati (vocals, congas, percussion); Gene Cornish (vocals, guitar, bass); Dino Danelli (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Buzz Feiten, Link Chamberlain (guitar); Gene Orloff & His Strings (strings); Hubert Laws (flute); Buddy Lucas (harmonica); Lois Colin (harp); Steve Marcus, Danny Labbate, Joe Farrell (soprano saxophone); David Sanborn (alto saxophone); King Curtis, Charles Dinwidie (tenor saxophone); Seldon Powell (saxophone); Mel Lastie, Joe Newman, Steve Madaio (trumpet); Joe Bushkin (piano); Ron Carter, Richard Davis, Chuck Rainey, Gerald Jemmott, Harold Cowart, Robert Popwell (bass); Ralph MacDonald, Rocky Dzidzornu, Daniel Zebulon, Jack Scarangella (percussion); David Brigati, Cissy Houston, Tosha Thomas, The Sweet Inspirations, Molly Holt, Bruce Buono, Buddy Buono, Annie Sutton (background vocals). All tracks have been digitally remastered. One of Rhino's exemplary two-disc compilations produced during the early '90s, featuring remastered sound, copious liner notes and more than enough rarities, ANTHOLOGY 1965-'72 is probably the best available (Young) Rascals anthology. All of the hits are here, of course--"Good Lovin'," "How Can I Be Sure," "Groovin'," etc.--but this collection also gathers goodies like early rave-up R&B covers, unappreciated album tracks and unsuccessful but often fascinating singles from the group's later years, when they'd added jazz and psychedelia to their original blue-eyed soul sound. At 44 tracks, these two discs are jam-packed, and both fans and newcomers will be pleased. Wisely, Rhino used the superior original mono mixes whenever available, making this one of the few Rascals anthologies with no fake stereo Entertainment Weekly (8/21/92, p.62) - "...a flavorful potpourri of jazz, soul, psychedelic-pop, and gospel, boasting a fair measure of overlooked delights that reflect the Rascals' unwavering taste and invention..." - Rating: B+ Stereo Review (12/92, p.106) - "...most of this set is flat-out great...

This is pretty good, but it's missing the final 5 tracks. What happened?

Good torrent. Thanks.
The song titles are numbered, are all lowercase, use underscores between words, and each one includes the text string 256_lame.abr: so you'll probably want to retitle the files.
There are 39 songs, not 44 as listed. The last 5 from Disc 2 are not there.

Over five years ago I downloaded a FLAC version of this from Demonoid. Not having the hard drive space I burned it to DVD. Using a program I wrote I was able to fill all the DVDs with files.
Now that hard drive space is cheap I'm bringing the files off. I'm finding that most of the DVDs from this far back are bad. The problem is always in the vary last files. The ones that are closest to the hole.
In this case I lost the last five tracks. Which by strange coincidence are the five that are missing from here! (Not that I really wanted a lossy version anyway.)
