LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

This CD features the band's recordings from 1964-1969, their single from 1966, 2 rare singles under their former name THE SERFMEN and a single from a post-OLIVERS outfit, called TRIAD. It includes a 12-page booklet with band history and pictures.

The Olivers are best known for their highly sought after 1966 Picture Cover 45 on Phalanx Records titled "I Saw What You Did b/w Beeker Street".

This single was nationwide released and is now considered to be one of the best double sided major label garage 45's of the 1960s. A planned second single and LP release for RCA never appeared. Long standing rumours of a "Lost LP" however, were confirmed when a one-of-a-kind reference acetate of an unreleased GRT album by The Olivers was found recently.

The album, which was recorded after several line-up changes in early 1969 turned out to be a psychedelic jewel. Unjustifiably shelved 40 years ago, this amazing organ drenched fuzzfest proves that the band does not only deserve the plaudit "Indiana Sixties Rock Heroes", but also had the potential for the national breakthrough that never happened.
