Debut 9/5/70
Peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This is the first pressing version WITH the siren.
Due to a law in effect at the time that prohibited siren sounds to be played on the radio, right after this record was released, it was changed by taking out the siren. Therefore, two versions exist of this record - with and without the siren!

My Mom had this 45, I think of her everytime I hear it great memories. I was about 4 years old.
OMG! This was one of my favorite songs when I was a little kid.
yes....was one of my favs also....along with Gypsy Woman...
still one of my favs dunno how I got to searching this out today, the song just came into my head
Mine too and ill still remember the words
I was 6 or 7 real music
I remember this getting lots of air time on the radio for awhile. Nice to hear it again.
Actually purchased a 45 copy of this song. Back then, they sold 45's at your local grocery store! (for about a dollar)
33 record albums were $5 or $6, for price comparison. I got $5 for mowing a lawn every week. Took my money to the grocery store (spent it for music) !
Love the siren in this song. Excellent song in a Camaro riding with the windows down on AM radio in the 70's👮
+Brian Haney another song with sirens is The "Night that Chicago Died" by Paper Lace. I was just a kid in 1970 when I heard this as well as Paper lace's song.
+Rachel Rodgers
Another song is "Fire" by the Ohio Players.
Thank you...I didn't remember that one...I'm gonna play that one now and listen to it. This is neat! ;)
Now I remember...LOL...I had forgotten how that one sounded, it has been so long since I've heard this one! Thanks again...added it to my "Spinning Vinyl" playlist and also to my writing tablet where I list records I want to add to my collection. I also made a ledger of what I have in my collection so that I don't accidentally buy a duplicate of a record I already have.
Or a 442 Cutlass it wasn't bad in there either
i have always like this song. The words are stirring, and the sirens and the police on the bull horn add a nice touch.
I had just turned 13 and my sister was born when this song first came out. It's a powerful song.
There is nothing about this track that I do not love. When I was a young kid I waited for it to come on my transistor radio.
Music4allofU nothing about this that I do love 👎
I love that warm crackle of the vinyl. And yes my transistor radio still works. It just has a sound that you can't help but love not that I don't have MP3 and all that but whatever there's a warmth to
Some of the older Technologies
@@glennso47 so Glenn buttholes are like opinions and we see you have one
Brings me back to Iowa cornfields, dusty gravel roads, and my brother's Chevy Vega.
isn't that the car with the 1 inch pedals I remember from drivers ed class
Vega-chevys answer to the Ford Edsel
Those clean-cut corn-fed Iowans in Indiana
A classic! The way it was back in the 70's! Thanks for posting!!!!
I was 13 now I'm 57 how time flies...:(...it's still a kick ass classic song...:).
i was born 1960 there's nothing like the 50's 60's and the 70's music so thank you all who puts it on youtube.
I remember this as the 45 you have there from my youth. Mom and dad played it for us.. On a real turn table.. Oh the memories this song brings...
Thanks for posting this "Rare Earth" gem!

I listened to this tune in Nom.1970,almost 50 yrs. ago.In Japan nobody knows this,and it brings me back my junior high schl days.Thank you.
Probably my most favorite 70’s song!
This song also reached Number 2 in Taylor's native Canada, and hit Number 2 in both the UK and Ireland in May 1971.
This could be remade today and become a big modern country hit. Maybe I'll try that myself!
Love this song!!! They don't make them like they used to.
My mother played this 45 over and over on her Magnavox Console...
The radio alarm was always set to WSAI - 1360 on the dial. If the deejay's babbling voice didn't jolt you out of bed in the morning, your favorite song did the trick!
I was eight years old when this song came out...ah, the memories
Brings back memories of Ktel records and tapes.
Operators are standing by...!
WABCRADIO77 It's always nice to run across someone who remembers those days!
w3mq Don't forget RONCO!
Anaris10 Chopomatic,vegematic,Popiel pocket Fisherman with the fishing lure that bites back! hahaha!
Brings back memories of running from the cops after we TP'd the neighbors house.
so awesome. when i was about 7 my dad was doing work on our house and i found that 45 . i played the shit out of it . love this song
My mom has this 45. I love this song.
"if a man ever needed dieing, he did" drew me in as a kid, still luv this tune ♥️
I thank God I grew up in the 1960's and 70's.
I was great to be a kid and a young adult then.
This song brings back cool memories.
Thank you.

My brother's had the 45rpm. So remember this. Love the bull horn at the end
Thanks for posting I'm from Indianapolis, I heard this song a lot when I was a kid.
It was a one hit wonder, but what a hit it was!! great song and great clip. thanks for posting!
Brings back such cherished memories.🎶🎸🥁
They even KILLED me once in Indiana- and shocked my heart back to life, on Good Friday 2001. Vicious.
Ahhhh you just can't beat this kind of music, & to listen to it on LP is priceless. I am 35 and I just bought another record player & I have many classic LP's. CD's are nice but this is great. Thank you so much for posting WABRADIO77.
Just, thank-you! You took me back to fond summertime memories in 1970!
Back then they couldn't use a mouse click to remove the siren, so they had to mixdown the whole song again and the result was an inferior mix overall. The version you played here with the siren was the one that caught lightning in a bottle. Thanks for sharing it in all its analog glory!!!
I was in the 6th grade when i first heard this, @ a school dance with my first love...
1959timberwolf that must've been wonderful
Great song back then...great song still!!
My Cousin & I both have the 45 & wrote our own words! Such fun memories!
Lovely song
In the 90s I worked for a rock radio station in Terre Haute, Indiana. Our evening disk jockey went by Dean Taylor on the air. When he discovered this song, he lost his mind. It wasn't on our playlist, but he played it anyway, because how could he not?
I still like this song!! This is one of the biggest hit songs by a white artist affiliated with Motown on Rare Earth label.
I was 14 yrs old wen I 1st heard this.54 now, .Why did all the good music and times go away?? :o(
My very first favorite rock song
Genial que hermoso es ver los vinylos 45rpm original con ese clásico de los 70🤩🇨🇷👍💜❤️👋
In school a girl had a portable player and would play this on the back of bus 84 and the driver would always look in the mirror to look for the cops lol
***** Great song from the day !!
Great memory and great story. Thank you for sharing
Oh my.....this was 1970 or early 71....remembers rocking to this song and Bryan Hylands song "Gypsy Woman" on AM radio....bring back the 70's......
he was a songwriter for Motown. "Love Child" by the Supremes
Taylor cowrote Love Child
Love all of these omg. Thx you. That you shared. Blessing. 🌅❤💜❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤loving the songs. Cherished jewle. 💞😄
Nice system and one hell of a collection of music. Thanks for sharing!
Dude, I love your selections. I can always find something I haven't heard in years. Sometimes not even since they were hits, like this one. Keep it up.
definitely can't go back there now..
Yup.. Has the opening siren, but no gunfire at the end. Regardless, love the song. They edited the single soon after it's release because some drivers were actually pulling over to let cop go by (not kidding)..
crazy I remember when I was driving around and Lunatic Fringe would play on the radio it sounded like the cops were on your ass too but I never pulled over - besides I usually had too much sh*t in the car !
Hey, I had that 45!! Love this song..........God, we had some good tunes when we were growing up!! What happen!!
"This is the Police, you are surrounded, give yourself up, this is the Police give yourself up, you are surrounded, this is the Police, you are surrounded"...I was listening close to figure out what the Police were saying in the background.
50 years ago, 18 years old. Jesus, where did the years go!
Top 5 record on US charts November,1970
The oldies are best 😂
RIP R Dean Taylor!
Wow, cruising in my 66 442 , 18 and free. Chit....what memories.
Madmike I agree with you.....We had music.....Not what ever they have now,....
Love it! 45's rule!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH BUDDY.ME TOO ON THE JAMMIN.I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THE GIRLS USED TO CRY WHEN HE SAID "IF JUST ONE MORE I COULD SEE YOU A HOLDIN OUR LITTLE BABY??"
Love it
I remember hearing it on WRKO Boston when I was a kid. With the siren! That's some early sh*t, right there, I'll tell ya'!
Keeping the dream alive June Bug 💛
Love it 😊
I live in Indiana and I had to find the song on here when i heard it on the radio.
Man do i remember fondly this tune this is how it sounded.......
I recently picked up a promo copy, on red vinyl, of this record. I also have the standard stock copy and a '90's re-issue on the Collectables label.
I have this 45 in 2021.
Thanks for posting this song!
The original version with the siren at the beginning is featured on the Music Choice 1970s digital music TV channel.
I didn't know that about sirens prohibited on radio at the time this was a hit - thanks again Spencer for a little known piece of trivia!
I'm guessing that the siren in the instrumental bridge was allowed to stay as it wasn't deemed to be alarming to listeners halfway thru the song? Probably wouldn't have been a hit if R. Dean would have had to re-record.
Oh, I own a copy of the non-siren 45, and have this version on 20 Hard To Find Motown Classics Volume 2 - a CD that's out of print.
WE NEED SOME RAIDO STATIONS TO START UP,GREAT SONG♥️🐾♥️🐾
I feel like you have been going through my 45’s. 🙂
Great song!
Lord, I can't go back there.
Indiana Wants Me. From The Lp "I Think, Therefore I Am"
Rip R Dean Taylor January 7 from Covid19
i like his song "let's go somewhere" that he co wrote with holland dozier (supremes songwriters)
Though I never knew there was a siren-less 45 version, you should also put in your description that the song fades before the album version. The longer version/album cut has as the cops fade the gun shots ringing out showing he goes down in a blaze of gun fire to not go back to jail. Otherwise, nice to hear this version again! Thanks for posting.
Such a sad song.. Amazing though.
Hermosos.y.bellos.sonido.esta.cancion.es.inigualable.
..man it has been awhile... but this shit still is great....
It's 1970 again thanks to my time machine
pure brilliant
The real thing, thank you
This song was featured on Music Choice 70's channel.
yes the memories
real music...
like this song
Nice flash to the past... :)
He was a one hit wonder in the states, there were best of's on CD at one point, but now Ebay is your only friend for those. Some editions don't have much info though.
Impeccable jluc courrieres
I always liked this song. This is the "safe" version where the police tell him that to put his hands up. The "controversial" version has the guy gunned down by the police with no singing going on. I prefer the latter (despite it being pretty much the same song) though I would imagine that this version was played on most radio stations back then.
And provided he came out with his hands up and obeyed every command... he "wasn't shot".
; )
The Clash's 'White Riot' (1977) also had the siren effect at the beginning of the single version.
And don't forget The Sweet's "Block Buster"
The best £4.00 I ever spent was getting this Near Mint Condition!
Classic
Oh god yes
I just posted both of mine, sorry. Did not see you had them up already. I didn't so the whole song though. FYI - the "siren-less" version is pressed on styrene.
+ynpguy Love the records you post on here though!!!
1970この年KinksのLolaもよくラジオ📻から流れてましたね。
those 45s sound good
