Paulie Mississippi Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Eric; I've had my deluxe edition ordered since day one (I remember... December 13, my Dad died and Raspberries officially returned to life...I can't wait to hear the CD... I'd be at a store today buying another but I'm on a business trip to Africa (and due in a meeting in just a few minutes...) so I'll have to wait a few more days I guess. Congratulations however I'm sure are in order... this is gonna be big, I can feel it. The positive buzz... I don't think I ever read so many reviews of a pending Raspberries (or EC for that matter) release up to this one.Now... ride that success! Concert tour. New material. Etc... Happy July 31st indeed.

LC Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey Eric,Thanks to you and Wally and Jim and Dave -- thanks from all of us who are optimists by nature and who "never say never." The new release is a nice bit of redemption after all these years. I hope the rave reviews keep coming --- and that it all adds up to some more live dates. What could be more fun?--Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Krider Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Happy 35th Anniversary to "Go All The Way," too, which hit the Billboard chart for the first time July 1, 1972, remaining there for 18 weeks and peaking at #5 (it went to #4 in Cashbox and to #3 in Record World).It ranks at #91 in SPIN magazine's "100 Greatest Singles Of All-Time" list at http://www.rocklist.net/spin100.html . Not bad for four mods from Cleveland!May "Live On Sunset Strip" go all the way, too.Don Krider http://www.epinions.com/content_393207123588 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have to admit, if someone told me that one day I'd get the chance to walk into a store and pick up a brand spankin' NEW CD with "RASPBERRIES" emblazoned on it some thirty years after the band broke up, I'd have said, "Sure. when Hell freezes over!" Well folks, the devil has his hat and gloves on this morning. Congrats, Eric, Wally, Dave and Jim. What do you say we buy some "records" today?

Bob Allen Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I got the same chills this am when opening up this site as I did back in July 1972 when I first heard 'Go All The Way' blasting out of my little transitor radio. As Bernie says, who would have ever thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinberries Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 EC - it wouldn't have happened (fan support) if you guys hadn't turned out all that great music (i'm constantly amazed at what y'all squeezed out in 4 albums) - time to celebrate in style w/ a few road shows!

raspathens Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 My wife has every t.v. in the house on CNN today. At lunch, its off to BestBuy. Imagine....another Raspberries album - they will always be "albums" to me. I have already opened up two trays in my car's CD changer. This is all so, so cool. Thank you Eric, Wally, Dave, Jim, Bernie, Ken, Overdubs, Roadies, Mark and everyone else involved with this new production and journey.
