Customer Reviews:

Outsiders - 'Strange Things Are Happening' (RPM Records).......2006-08-21

Excellent 24 track compilation of this surperb psychedelic Dutch band. Each tune was a single sometime between 1965-69. These guys are NOT to be confused with a U.S. band from the same era of the same name. Cuts that make this CD a true keeper are "Sun's Going Down", the tripping "Feel Like I Wanted To Cry", "Keep On Trying", the familiar sounding "Touch" and "Ballad Of John B". This is yet ANOTHER band I've heard at least one or two tracks on the Rhino release of 'Original Artyfacts: Nuggets II' 4-CD box set.Should appeal to fans of Pretty Things,Q65,early Beatles,Creation and The Action.A must-have.

A Gem.......2006-07-15

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.

THIS COMPILATION IS 'IT' THIS ONE REALLY CUTS UP YOUR EARS.SEEK OUT THE OTHER BANDS FROM DUTCHLAND.NOW!

Dutch Sixties going international .......2004-12-30

The Amsterdam Outsiders are the best Dutch sixties popgroup around. And the only one with a true international reach. That's all due to frontman Wally Tax, whose later band 'Taxfree' dented US-charts in the early seventies.

Though having been in music all his life, Wally Tax really acquired fame with the Outsiders. The band's easily recognizable music, distantly that of the Rolling Stones alike, surely ranks among the best of sixties pop. Back then, not originating from England or the USA was a severe handicap for artistic exposure.

Brilliant compilation of a great band! Now read the books!.......2004-06-03

This is really a great cd compilation. To buy all the records is a very expensive project. Buy this compilation and bingo, you got most their stuff. If you like these guys then it's a good idea to read also the few books that have been published on them. The Outsiders Picture Book Volume 1 and 2 and the official biography by Jerome Blanes which will soon also be available in English. see www.lulu.com/nederbeat
