The complete singles A's & B's

"Those new to the Rascals experience are encouraged to take the plunge and old fans can reignite their memories of one of the finest '60s acts with a package that truly does this classic group's somewhat overlooked legacy justice".

"The career trajectory of the 'Young' Rascals took them from a point in music culture where singles were the focal point of both art and commerce to a point where the album was a work unto itself rather than a collection of singles. As much as it's aimed at a true devotee of the band, The Complete Singles also holds great attraction for the musiclover who wants to delve into this particular period of contemporary rock and pop ... It's also further tribute to Real Gone Music's archival efforts that, with little overlap of material despite an almost identical time frame, A's & B's is a comprehensive supplement to Anthology 1965-1972 (Rhino Records, 1992). Even apart from the research and collation of recording details (right down to master id numbers), plus the remastering of forty-seven tracks in chronological order as originally issued on the home of contemporary r&b/soul before the 'blue-eyed' kind became fashionable), Atlantic Records (combined with the later not releasessowell-known on the Columbia label), essayist Ed Osborne's procurement and inclusion of up-to-date interviews with bandmembers reveals the thought behind coverage of the evolution of the Rascals' work when they were no longer 'young.'".
