luvthemraspberries Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi Everyone,I just came from the 'berries Myspace page, and was checking out the store...wow, so many great things to choose from, I'm in Raspberries heaven lol! I'm trying to decide between 2 of the books that are for sale, the Overnight Sensation bookby Ken Sharp, and of course Raspberries TONIGHT!by Bernie Hogya and Ken Sharp ~ which do ya'all recommend, if you can only get one right now? Love that they have most of the Raspberries LPs on CD for sale too!! Thanks so much for your thoughts everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellie Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Get Raspberries TONIGHT right now! You've already ordered the CD/DVD set. This book will give you the inside scoop on what everyone was thinking and feeling about the reunion. When you have the set, you'll know you've got it all. You can buy Overnight Sensation at the next show (or...next payday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Overnight Sensation has a lot more historical information in it in scrap book form. Many, many articles and clippings. Tonight deals more with the reunion and has top quality color photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAM Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Both are GREAT books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I only have Overnight Sensation....It is a treasure trove of info.....get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I guess it all depends on what you're into: Raspberries TONIGHT! is a souvenir of the band's recent reunion, while Overnight Sensation is a compilation of interviews, rare photos and news clippings that cover the band's history.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 For me, "Overnight Sensation" came out of the blue, at a time when I thought that NO ONE else knew about the Raspberries. I flipped when I saw it for the first time, and it continues to hold a place close to my heart. "Raspberries TONIGHT!" added to the passion.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don H Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I would say to get both books before they sell out. One for the history and one for the present day! Enjoy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvthemraspberries Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks so much everyone for your input!! Wow, I so badly really want to get *both*, but can only afford to choose one right now...praying that TONIGHT! stays in stock, as I think Overnight Sensation is more up my alley at this time ~ I feel like I missed out on seeing so much from the early days (though I was a TOTAL fan at the tender age of 10, lol, and stayed one throughout the years!), it would be just what the doctor ordered IMO!! My b'day is coming up in another month or so, maybe I can convince family members to get me TONIGHT! as an early birthday present ~ that would totally rock! Thanks again everyone!!

austinberries Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 'overnight sensation' is a great scrapbook & archival source, which of course makes it fun to spend time with; however, you may be frustrated by just that: it's scrapbook approach. i think i remember bernie (host of this site) saying somewhere that he'd love to have had more of a handle on it (w/ author ken sharp), know what he knows now, etc. re: the whole layout, look & feel, & organization of the thing. it is put together rather haphazardly & randomly, which does make it frustrating if you want the story biographically folded out in front of you w/ chronology, etc - that said, it is an amazing assembly of clippings & archived articles, pics, interviews, etc. i haven't seen 'tonight' (which i was hoping came w/ the price of the dvd set, but doesn't, as i understand it), but it sure looks nicely done & appears to show the same exceptional tlc that bernie puts forth here on the site. either way, they both help keep the raspberries flame burning!
