THE VAULTS / CD REISSUES : Rare Earth, “Anthology,” Motown. ***

With its unique blend of Motown-style soul and rock, this band, which thrived in the early, early ‘70s, made some tracks that can still give funk fans goose bumps. The heart of this two-disc set is covers of Motown oldies, like “Get Ready,” and tracks from its 1974 album, “Ma”--considered a classic in funk-rock circles.
