STILL IN SHRINK

BEST PRICED COPY ON EBAY AS OF 3-21-2017.  Others sitting at $34, $34, $54 and $59 incl. post.

BEAUTIFUL copy of this Ann Arbor, Michigan rock band first album. Popular soul rock band that had an excellent reputation locally as well as nationally.  Associated with underground political activist John Sinclair (who also associated with The MC5).

Stored vertically in a smoke-free environment for 47 years.

Addition information regarding the band from Wikipedia: “The Rationals formed in 1964 and first recorded a single for a local label, A2 Records, in 1965. After scoring a local hit with the tune "Gave My Love", they recorded a cover of Otis Redding's "Respect". This won them a contract for national distribution by Cameo/Parkway, and the single ended up reaching #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. The record didn't break everywhere in the U.S. at the same time, so it had a tough time making a decent showing on the national charts. Several further singles, including "I Need You" and "Hold On Baby", were successes in Michigan but didn't catch on nationally. Lead singer Scott Morgan was asked to join Blood, Sweat & Tears, but he declined the offer. The group's only full-length album, a self-titled effort, arrived on Crewe Records at the beginning of 1970, and the group split up soon after; Morgan went on to play with several other Detroit-area groups over the next three decades, including Sonic's Rendezvous Band (with Fred Smith of MC5) and several of his own bands.

In 1995, John Sinclair released a live recording of a 1968 Rationals benefit concert entitled Temptation 'bout to Get Me. Sinclair also named his book Guitar Army after the Rationals song of the same name.

In 2010, The Rationals were voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.
