The Young Rascals' 1967 album “Groovin'” is the pinnacle of a collective that Rolling Stone boldly called “the blackest white group of them all” in 1970. With three top 10 singles and an experimental set of pop tunes, the album ranks alongside the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band, Love's Forever Changes and Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow as one of the seminal recordings of 1967.
Mastered from the original master tapes by Rob LoVerde, Mobile Fidelity's numbered SACD presents “Groovin'” in fully restored mono. Additionally, the carefully produced restoration includes “A Beautiful Morning,” an early million-selling hit from 1968 that reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first release under the then-new name Rascals. Rarely have blue-eyed soul and harmless optimism sounded more infectious than on this audiophile re-release.
Of course, no track on “Groovin'” is more famous or well-known than the title track, which is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll” collection. As the birds chirp and the congas echo, the Young Rascals paint a picture of bliss with R&B harmonies and laid-back harmonica that leaves the listener ecstatic.
