"This CD is currently out of print. Apparently, Motown Records doesn't see the need to re-issue it. Therefore, the reason for the prices being so high is that the product is relatively scarce and you are buying from private sellers.
If you want to see this back in print at a reasonable price try writing Motown Records with your request. While you're at it you might want to request that "Get Ready", "Ecology" and the never issued on CD "One World" get equal treatments.
People that were into Rare Earth really dug them big time. They were some cool cats and they could really play. And while they weren't prolific songwriters, they may be the only band who could play your song better than you could.
Pete is still touring with a band called the "Classic Rock All-Stars" and sounds as good as ever."
Great album, crazy price

"I have been hankering after this great album on CD for a long time now. Imagine my surprise to suddenly find out that it is available. Surprise turned to shock when I saw the price. Does the company that produces this CD not realise that are people all around the world (including South Africa where I live) who are very keen on this album? At this stage though, it is only the very wealthy that can afford it."
This captures the true meaning of "Live"

"I waited 30 years to get this on CD. I finally managed to do so, and it is now one of my favorite cruising CDs in my car."
Live performances the best

"There are some bands and performers who come accross much better live then their studio version, these include; The Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, some of Frank Zappa. Now, RARE EARTH (LIVE)is one of these bands, I had it in vinyl back in the 70's but lost it and as a result (as with Neil Young's "On The Beach" which is now available) I have been on a periodic search of this perticular album. Will somebody make this available, please."
Rare Earth-One of the best live bands ever

"As I was growing up in the 70's, this was my favorite album. With great songs throughout, this is a true dynamite collection. "I Know I'm Loaing You" is a brilliant song. This live version of "Big Brother" with Pete Rivera telling the fans to get out of the water, and that start of the song, if that doesn't get your motor running, check your pulse.
Buy it!!!!!
P.S. Thank you M. Howard for turning me on to this group."
