Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
Paul Revere and the Raiders is an American rock band that saw enormous U.S. mainstream success in the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s. Initially located in Boise, Idaho, the Raiders started as an instrumental rock outfit led by organist Paul Revere. Mark Lindsay joined Revere's band in 1958. Originally called The Downbeats, they changed their name to Paul Revere & The Raiders in 1960. After Revere was drafted for military service,in the summer of 1962, Revere and Lindsay were working together again in Oregon with a version of the Raiders that featured drummer Mike "Smitty" Smith, who would spend two long periods with the band. According to Mark Lindsay, the Northwest Raiders were a "bunch of white-bread kids doing their best to sound black. We got signed to Columbia on the strength of sounding like this. Whether the Raiders or The Kingsmen recorded "Louie Louie" first is a matter of some controversy; however, both groups recorded it in the same studio in Portland, Oregon. 1965 marked the beginning of a string of garage rock classics. The Raiders, increasingly emulated the sounds of British Invasion bands such as The Beatles and The Stones. The band appeared regularly on national television, here they were presented as the American response to the British Invasion. Playing on Paul Revere's name, the group wore American Revolutionary War soldier uniforms and performed slapstick comedy and synchronized dance steps while the ponytailed Lindsay lip synched to their music. At the end of the sixties Mark Lindsay took more control of the band. The success of "Let Me" allowed Paul Revere and the Raiders to tour Europe with the Beach Boys in the spring of 1969. In an effort to change the bands' sound and image, the name was officially shortened to The Raiders. Ironically, The Raiders biggest hit, "Indian Reservation" , was recorded as a Mark Lindsay solo session. It was Columbia Records biggest selling single for almost a decade, clearing over 6 million units. They did continue to release singles for Columbia until their contract expired in 1975. Mark Lindsay departing the band and continued his solo career. "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" was covered by The Sex Pistols, "Just Like Me" would be covered by The Circle Jerks, Joan Jett and Pat Benatar. David Bowie covered "Louie, Go Home" and The Who took that song and changed the title and lyrics to "Lubie, Go Home". The Flamin' Groovies tackled two Raiders songs; "Him or Me, What's it Gonna Be?" and "Ups and Downs".
