Out-Sider presents the first legit reissue of
There's a War On
by
The Rainbow Press
, a cool US '68 psychedelic concept album with all the right moves: solid songwriting, refreshing harmonies, studio effects, organ, fuzz guitar, electric piano, sunshine/baroque touches -- think
The Rainy Daze
,
Strawberry Alarm Clock
,
The Doors
. The Rainbow Press evolved from
The Continental Divide
, a college band from New York containing members from two previous British invasion groups:
The Group
and
The Specs
. They were
Bill Yergin
on drums,
Dave Troup
on bass,
Larry Milton
on electric piano and 12-string guitar,
Marc Ellis
on guitar,
Charlie Osborne
on organ, and
Joe Groff
on vocals. All the members sang vocal harmonies and the twin electric piano/organ action gave the band an unusual and cool sound. In 1968, Audio Fidelity approached them and a contract was secured. The band changed their name to the more groovy-sounding The Rainbow Press and sessions for their first album started at Radio City in New York.
There's a War On
saw the light in 1968 on the Mr. G label (the "hip" branch of Audio Fidelity). It's hard to believe this perfectly recorded psychedelic beauty was made by college students! Remastered sound; includes insert with liner notes telling the band's story for the first time.
