The Troyes - Rainbow Chaser: Complete Recordings 1966-1968

The Troyes exploded onto the music scene with "Rainbow Chaser" a regional smash hit that climbed to number 3 on the top 40 in September of 1966. Sensing a new phenomenon, famed bandleader Ray Anthony (who already had smash hits with "Dragnet" and "Peter Gunn") signed the group to his new rock label "Space Records". His faith in the band was so great that nearly two albums worth of material were recorded at United Sound (Detroit) in 1966 and 1967. Unfortunately, only two singles were issued and the rest of the material was never released. Now for the first time ever, all twenty-four of The Troyes' recordings are compiled on this album. The recordings range from far-out psychedelic to unhinged fuzz and farfisa garage to moody haunting sounds. Also included on this album is a detailed booklet of rare photos, radio surveys, newspaper articles, and Troyes memorabilia.
