POP PICK Raspberries: SIDE 3 Capitol SMAS 11220 An excellent package from this goodtime band, featuring the fine harmony vocals, top lead singing, simple yet fascinating writing and highly competent instrumental work that has characterized their past efforts. The rockers are still the best material, but the ballads are also top notch. The band seems a bit tighter in all areas with each LP, and, it's a pleasure to listen to a band that seems more intent on having fun and playing good music rather than relaying a message of some sort. This is the set that should establish them without doubt as an LP as well as singles act. Best cuts: "Tonight," "Ecstacy," "I'm a Rocker," "Should I Wait." Dealers: Group is known to radio listeners through their hit singles and the cover of this set is cleverly shaped like a bowl of Raspberries, Capitol also had the good sense to place the group's name an top of the LP.
