Scott McCarl only appeared on a single Raspberries album (their 1974 swansong, Starting Over) but the bassist proved his worth, co-writing five of the album's tracks. In the aftermath of the Raspberries, McCarl pursued other career paths and only sporadically returned to songwriting. That's why it took over two decades for his debut solo album to appear. Titled after his best-known Raspberries composition, Play On! was released in 1998 and showed that McCarl's knack for Beatlesque power pop hadn't dimmed in the slightest. This new compilation includes choice cuts from the original Play On! as well as additional songs from McCarl's discography. Original compositions are joined by a cover of Gerry & The Pacemakers "Don Let The Sun Catch You Crying". Backing musicians include the Rubinoos, Hilly Michaels, and Lux Interior's brother, Michael Purkhiser.
