The Olivers from Fort Wayne, Indiana are best known for their highly
sought after 1967 Picture Cover 45 on Phalanx Records titled "I Saw What
You Did" b/w "Beeker Street". The single got picked up by RCA Records
for nationwide release and is today rated as one of the best and most
exciting double sided major label garage 45s of the 1960s. A planned
second single and LP release for RCA never happened. 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, recorded after several line-up changes in early
1969 at Dove Studios in Minneapolis 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. (reader at discogs)
The Olivers "Beeker Street" Released in 1966"Beeker Street" is an incredible blast of garage-psych madness from Fort Wayne's Olivers.(www.nuvo.net)
It's not easy to get a review of this compilation but to me is what ''nuvo.net'' said about the band that's meets it the best. If you are not a fan of garage music of the sixties maybe this is not what you want :-). To all of the sixties garage fans
ENJOY
