Synopsis

Album Description
Subtitled - The Complete Singles. Known as The 'Dutch' Outsiders (to save confusion with the U.S. group of the same name), from 1965-1969 The Outsiders ruled the R&B/Psych beat roost, a big hit in Europe & equally in the U.S. where they sold 2 million records. Here are their complete singles. Leader Wally Tax is still releasing new albums today, his latest on Virgin in Holland, & has helped with the sleeve notes. The package is licensed from EMI Holland & the band. This release in the Bam Caruso series is packaged by Phil Smee with plenty of photos & memorabilia. This is the first ever complete collection of their singles & has been remastered from original tapes. 24 tracks. RMP. 2002.

Hmmmmmmmm? How could "Time Won't Let Me" and "Respectable", two of their biggest hits, NOT be included? I'd be suspicious of this one!

Happyville if alas Hipville as well...

"Sadly I have all the songs here, either as extras from their two albums and the double cd of "sessions" from the CQ album or from, uh,.... What bothers me is how hard I had to dig for the songs now so easily available. And this is great music lads. Tough r+b that makes a joke of a great deal of British and American attempts at the latter. Think of a cd of really good Nugget style music you had somehow missed. Alas this stuff getting easier to find means that rather trite trendies will be blaring it at their High Fidelity perches in their little record stores, but you mustn't judge a band by its fans, especially when they aren't around to defend themselves.If you dig mid sixties music, love the Stones and Pretty Things and need a new fix then my God man buy this. But don't get an attitude about it, o.k.?"

"The Dutch Outsiders are at the top of the class in the Freakbeat scene, along with countrymen Shocking Blue and Q65. Whether they are rocking it up, as on "Touch" or "That's Your Problem," or going jangly psychedelic, as on "Sun's Going Down" and "Lying All the Time," this is a band that has power, drive, and skills. This is an excellent collection for anyone who is interested in this band and would like to have the best of their stuff compiled on one cd. I wish their song "Filthy Rich," one of my faves Outsiders tracks, was on this collection, but this is a singles compilation and that must not have been a single. Every song is good, some are great."
