* Big Beat's previous Rationals compilation "Think Rational" delivered some long-overdue kudos to these seminal Michigan rockers. As promised, Big Beat are now proud to present the group's eponymous 1970 album in the same profusely annotated and illustrated manner: the first time these recordings have been legitimately reissued anywhere. * After leaving erstwhile mentor Jeep Holland of A-Square Records, the Rationals continued with their exciting blend of rock and R&B, absorbing along the way the heavier influences of the scene surrounding the legendary Grande Ballroom in Detroit. The result was the classic 1969 single `Guitar Army' and a long overdue full album on the Crewe label, the soulful contents of which demonstrated the breadth of the group's talents. * This Big Beat reissue adds the rare single versions of `Guitar Army' and `Sunset' plus two previously unissued tracks, including an amazing live-in-the-studio take of `Wang Dang Doodle'.
