The Rabble-Rousing Rhythms of the Riff-Raff Renegades

The Keggs - To Find Out (1967)

THE KINKS - A Well Respected Man

Russia's youngest 60's Garage-/Popsike-newcomers are now ready to present us with their second 7' 'Don't You Want To Stay' - a 45, which is just as mindblowing as its predecessor. These boys definitely know how to write songs! Both sides have catchy organ-melodies, cool guitars, a dreamy psychedelic touch and a fabulous and authentic 60's Garage-sound that you can't get enough of!

Don't You Want To Stay

Big City Lights - Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs

The Rationals formed in 1964 and first recorded a single for a local label, A2 Records, in 1965. After scoring a local hit with the tune "Gave My Love", they recorded a cover of Otis Redding's "Respect. This won them a contract for national distribution by Cameo/Parkway, and the single ended up reaching #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. Unfortunately, the record didn't break everywhere in the U.S. at the same time, so it had a tough time making a decent showing on the national charts. Several further singles, including "I Need You" and "Hold On Baby", were successes in Michigan but didn't catch on nationally. Lead singer Scott Morgan was asked to join Blood Sweat and Tears, but he declined the offer. The group's only full-length, a self-titled effort, arrived on Crewe Records at the beginning of 1970, and the group split up soon after; Morgan went on to play with several other Detroit-area groups over the next three decades, including Sonic's Rendezvous Band (with Fred Smith of MC5) and several of his own bands.

The lyrics of Iggy Pop's track "Get Up And Get Out" from his 1980 album "Soldier" are mostly lifted from the band's 1967 single "Leavin' Here," which was included on Goldenlane Records' 2009 compilation, "60s Garage Nuggets."

In 1995, John Sinclair released a live recording of a 1968 Rationals benefit concert entitled Temptation 'bout to Get Me. Sinclair also named his book Guitar Army after the Rationals song of the same name.

The band's cover of Carole King's co-written I Need You was also featured on the compilation Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968.

The Big Beat record label released “Think Rational!,” a two-CD anthology of the mid-1960s phase of the Rationals’ career, in July 2009.
