The Knickerbockers - Lies

180-gram vinyl mono edition!

Although the Knickerbockers hailed from Bergenfield, New Jersey, anyone hearing their infectious signature tune "Lies" on the radio in early 1966 would have sworn that they were from Liverpool. The entire album by the same name is equally fab, featuring reimagined pop standards, alongside the Beatlesque rock 'n' roll that put the foursome on the map!

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.
