Description

Rare Italian pressed music cassette. Black cassette with red paper label.

Two strong tracks propelled Ecology up the pop charts: the swaggering, bravado-laden Born To Wander, written by Tom Baird, and a hard-hitting, rocking rendition of the Temptations I Know I’m Losing You, written by Cornelius Grant, Eddie Holland, and Norman Whitfield; the epic remake of the latter is almost eleven minutes of pure funk-rock. Lead singer Pete Riviera had a powerful voice, similar to Dennis Edwards, that could sell a song; the percussion and echo vocals accentuate the classic. The guys do a nice job on John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s Eleanor Rigby, and bass player John Persh’s Nice Place To Visit adds a different twist to Rare Earth’s legacy.
