Description
From 1963 until late 1965 Ray Columbus & The Invaders reigned supreme in New Zealand and Australia with their unique brand of Pop and R'n'B. They toured with some of the biggest names from the period. Roy Orbison thought that they were the loudest group that he had ever heard, The Rolling Stones would watch them from the stage door, Del Shannon wanted them as his permanent band, and The Yardbirds were desperate to get their hands on one of their songs.
By mid-1966, a solo Ray arrived in the USA to the headline '' AMERICA DISCOVERS COLUMBUS'', where he became part of the happening scene in San Francisco.
For the first time you can hear 29 tracks that combine Ray''s Invaders period with the best of his San Francisco and New Zealand solo recordings from the Sixties, presenting the definitive album of this legendary figure.....and in case you were wondering...yes he is related to the other Columbus.
