They've ALMOST disappeared from the planet Earth, but back in "the olden days" there were many Paul Revere and the Raiders' EP's to be had -- and dig the hip copywriting, man!

"The Moving Crowd" (#CSM 546) (1966 or 67)

Cover: includes a picture of the Raiders with Mark, Paul, Fang, Harpo, and Smitty (although the liner notes reference Drake). This was a special promotion for National Shoes and Mary Jane Shoe Stores.

"A smash-hit hard rocker featuring Raider lead singer and saxophonist Mark Lindsay,
Steppin' Out is a perfect example of this group's unique sound and wild, irresistable beat."

Also included are one track each from Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, and Aretha Franklin.

"Great Shakes - Shake-Out 2" (#CSM 566) (1967)

Cover: a Peter Max-type rainbow arching over a generically-drawn 4-piece band. This was a limited edition promotion for General Foods. It features one track each by The Buckinghams, The Byrds, Aretha Franklin, and The Raiders.

"Paul Revere and the Raiders are those five new-view young musicians,
those happening gentlemen who've marched off with the hearts of today's music public.
When these musical minute men tell you that that's a Good Thing ,
well, you just better believe 'em."

Cover: includes the Greatest Hits photo of The Raiders.
This was a limited edition for Pond's, not available in record stores.
It features one track each by The Cyrkle, Peaches & Herb, Aretha Franklin, and The Raiders.

"LISTEN! It's a rockin' group as new as tomorrow and as out of sight as an Apollo spacecraft.
It's got a fresh sound that's heard 'round the world, and it belongs to Paul Revere and the Raiders.
Hear them do their thing in The Great Airplane Strike ."
