Look at the album's picture cover! Are those Fender guitar amps behind them! ...And that mic on the right; it's not too big, and too high?

Rare Earth...
The 1960s,
The group formed in 1960 as "The Sunliners" and changed their name to "Rare Earth" in 1968.[1] After recording an unsuccessful debut album, Dream/Answers, on the Verve label in 1968, they were signed to Motown in 1969.[1] The band was one of the first acts signed to a new Motown imprint that would be dedicated to white rock acts. The record company did not have a name for the new label yet and the band jokingly suggested Motown call the label "Rare Earth." To the band's surprise, Motown decided to do just that.[1]
The main personnel in the group included: Gil Bridges (saxophone, flute and vocals ), Peter Hoorelbeke a.k.a. Peter Rivera (lead vocals and drums), John Parrish a.k.a. John Persh (bass guitar, trombone and vocals), Rod Richards (born Rod Cox, guitar, vocals) and Kenny James (born Ken Folcik, keyboards). The group's recording style was hard-driving.
During 1969 the group contributed music to the movie Generation that starred David Janssen and Kim Darby. But a proposed accompanying soundtrack album was canceled after the movie bombed at the box office and many of the songs ended up on the band's next album, Ecology, in 1970.
Rare Earth had a number of Top 40 hits in the 1970-1971 period, including covers of The Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losing You" (which was used in the documentary video It's Time) and "Get Ready". Both were more successful than The Temptations' originals, with "Get Ready" being their biggest hit, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. This disc sold over one million copies and received a Gold record awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America.[2] The group gained a bit of notoriety when it was mentioned dismissively in the lyrics to Gil Scott-Heron's 1970 poem, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", which included the line, "The theme song [to the revolution] will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck, or the Rare Earth."[1]
In late 1969 Edward "Eddie" Guzman (congas and assorted percussive instruments) was added to the group.
