4 out of 5 stars How about Ruby Tuesday?.......2006-04-21

I appreciate everyone's comments about the CD. I bought the CD because I had occasionally heard the haunting church organ rendition of Ruby Tuesday on the radio. Is that not the most unusual and creative cover of that song?

4 out of 5 stars Gave 'counter-culture' a professional sound/edge.......2004-03-26

Take an utterly beautiful, soulful band like the Fifth Dimension and add a heavy, professionally-crafted theatrical sheen, and you've got Rotary Connection. One of my amazingly astute and lively college companions/girlfriends was heavily into theatre - and was wild about them. If you like listening to music that's reminiscent of 'Hair' and/or 'Jesus Christ Superstar', RC will be right up your alley - they're definitely a very artistic/dramatic/appealing element of the late 60's counter-cultural ethos.
It's also notable that some of the instrumental breaks and harmonic underpinnings veer a bit in the direction of folks like Van Dyke Parks - quite an avant-garde touch, as it were, and quite flavorful, if that's were your tastes lie.

4 out of 5 stars Best of the 60's.......2003-06-17

This is one of the great 60's musical experiments that blossomed not suprisingly at the peak of the psychedelic era. I know very little about the group or the artists, but I do know it is one of the few albums I enjoy listening to now as much as I did almost 35 years ago when it was first released. Absolutely awesome orchestration with great overtures, powerful vocals, and superb harmonies. Best Tracks are covers for "Soul Man" and "Like a Rollin' Stone", (the latter is argueably the best Dylan cover ever, right after the Byrds' version of "Mr. Tamborine Man"). I would like to know more about the group, where they came from and what happened to them, if anyone knows.

5 out of 5 stars Rotary Connection.......2002-02-21

I had this album 30 years ago & gave it away. The other day I got to
thinking about the song Amen on this album. Could not remember the name of the band, typed in the song title & 975 possibilities
came up about 100 was Rotary Connection. I ordered it, this album is better than I remembered it being. Will definitely keep it this time. Thanks for having a great musical library so us old farts can enjoy our past again. Feel like being a hippie again.
