The Knickerbockers
Lies    

180 gram vinyl mono edition!

 

The Lies LP, recorded in Hollywood with songwriting contributions from the likes of Glen Campbell, Jim Seals and Jerry Fuller, surrounds its iconic title hit with an eclectic assortment of tunes, including the catchy melodic gems “I Can Do It Better” and “Just One Girl, the widescreen pop experiment “I Believe in Her” and distinctive renditions of the durable standards “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “Harlem Nocturne.”

 

Although they ironically rode the faux-English sound of “Lies” to chart success, the Knickerbockers were actually seasoned live performers who were adept at whipping Garden State crowds into a frenzy long before the British Invasion hit U.S. shores. The quartet’s prowess as a high-energy live act is apparent on these two vintage LPs, originally released on Gene Autry’s fabled Challenge label. Both albums brilliantly reflect the band’s distinctive blend of Beatlesque jangle, garage grit and frat-rock adrenaline.

 

Out of print in its original LP format for nearly half a century, this vintage ’60s gem has been sourced from the original mono tapes and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with complete original cover art.
