Interesting 8 song EP in the respect that the songs come from 4 sources. Five of the songs are either from the Yardbirds/Cream (Heart Full of Soul; Shapes of Things; Crossroads) or Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth; Mr. Soul). On top of that, Rush throws in an Alice Cooper song (Seven and Seven Is) and two from the Who (Summertime Blues; The Seeker). The bands are all the ones that I listened to when I was in high school. What made me buy the EP was how well they did the Buffalo Springfield tunes. They don't really add anything new to the songs ... just a decent job of doing covers. Worth the $10.

Rich surely Seven And Seven Is is by Love.

I think this record sounds plain nuts in theory.
Ben:

Actually, Alice Cooper did have a song "Seven and Seven Is" from the Special Forces album (early 80's). A Love song makes much more sense though in this context ... Lee is the composer and it is from the late 60's. Thanks for the save.

I heard the Rush CD being played over the speakers at J&R Music in NYC and I thought it was odd to hear a band covering a Stephen Stills' song ... like how many bands ever do that ... especially today? Odder still, was that it was an EP and ultimately only a few bands' songs were represented. I am not sure about nutty ... but, odd it is.

With all the CD's I buy, I figured what was $10 more in the now legendary transfer of wealth on my behalf to the record companies over the years ... like, how bad could the CD be? (then again, after hearing Brian Wilson's new solo album ... maybe that logic is not serving me ... another post, for another time).

Turns out, this is the first Rush record that I have ever purchased. As I mentioned previously, they do a decent enough job with the covers ... but they do not add anything new to the songs.
