• Mention the Rationals to anyone who was a teenager in Michigan during the 1960s and you will hear impassioned testimony to a group unlike any other. This punchy quartet from Ann Arbor ruled the state during the mid-1960s with a blend of rootsy garage and exciting blue eyed soul. And the handful of records they cut have become totems of cool to garage and mod fanciers the world over.
• Think Rational! is therefore amongst the most eagerly awaited of all 1960s rock anthologies, collecting together for the first time the incomparable sides the Rationals cut under the auspices of their manager and mentor, the enigmatic Hugh Jeep Holland. From early Brit-influenced rockers like Look What You're Doing (To Me Baby) and Feelin Lost, through garage soul like Hold On Baby and their big hits Respect and I Need You, to psychedelically-tinged items like Sunset, this deluxe 2 CD compilation covers the groups entire output between 1965 and 1968.
• In addition to all the singles on A-Square and Cammeo, we hear the rare promo 45 cut for a Detroit mens clothing store, as well as tracks from the Rationals 1968 fan club LP (two known test pressings) and many other unissued goodies like I Gotta Go Now and Poor Dog. Over a decade in the making, Think Rational! is crammed with photos and memorabilia from the groups heyday, and features all four Rationals discussing the Jeep Holland era in detail.
