The Rascals

The Rascals, originally known as The Young Rascals, were formed in 1965 in Garfield, New Jersey, and remained active until their disbandment in 1972. The group changed their name to The Rascals between November 1967 and February 1968. In recognition of their contributions to music, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 1997.

Following their split in 1972, the band members participated in various reunions and special performances. During the 1990s and 2000s, live shows featured both the lineup known as The New Rascals and Felix Cavaliere's Rascals. A significant reunion occurred in April 2010, when all four original members came together for a benefit concert in New York. This occasion led to a series of performances titled *The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream*, a blend of concert and theatrical experience produced and directed by Steven and Maureen Van Zandt, which took place from December 2012 to November 2013.

Since then, further reunions have not materialized, particularly following the passing of Dino Danelli on December 15, 2022. Currently, a revival band continues to tour, featuring Cavaliere and Cornish as its principal members.

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
