Raspberries

Their debut, with "Go All the Way" at the top of side one.
Raspberries, 1972

Wikipedia lists the Record Plant in New York and Abbey Road in London; the drummer Jim Bonfanti says all of it was at the Record Plant. He recalled that they recorded the album twice and the second version was the one released, that it took about a month in the studio, and that there was no click track. Carmen, Bryson, Smalley and Bonfanti played. It reached 51 in the US and 30 in Australia. AllMusic gave 4 of 5 and Christgau's Record Guide a C-plus.
