Greatest Hits

Paul Revere And The Raiders, “Greatest Hits” (Columbia, 1967; original release 1963-67)
Speaking of preposterous, here’s one of the last great old-school rock-and-roll novelty acts, cranking out chunky garage-rock tuneage in vintage Georgian-era attire as if they were facing a squadron of Redcoats rather than a horde of teen-lust-addled Tiger Beat subscribers. The thing was, not only did they have first-rate, anthemic songs (some courtesy of Brill-Building writing geniuses Mann & Weil), but they rock hard and steady courtesy of years honing their craft kicking out the jams at beer-blasts and bar mitzvahs.
