1 A Canadian Psychedelic Rock Band Active In The Sixties. Originally Formed In 1964 As The Classics Adopting The Name CFUN Classics When They Gigged To Promote Local Vancouver BC Radio Station CFUN-AM The Group Were Featured As The House Band On Let's Go A Weekly TV Show. In 1965 They Released Two Singles As The Canadian Classics — "Til I Met You" And "I Don't Know". The Band Reinvented Themselves As The Collectors In 1966. With Former Horn Player Howie Vickers Handling Lead Vocals They Cut "Eyes" And "Don't Feel Bad" — Both Of Which Later Appeared On The History Of Vancouver Rock And Roll Volume 4 "Eyes" — A Fine Folk Tune Seasoned With Tasty Guitar And Just A Dash Of Psychedelia — Is Easily The Better Track. "Don't Feel Bad" Has A Vague "On Broadway" Feel. More Elaborately Produced It Also Seems A Less Genuine Effort. By 1967 In Addition To Lead Singer Howie Vickers The Collectors Included Claire Lawrence Tenor Sax Organ Recorder Flute Bill Henderson Lead Guitar Glenn Miller Bass And Ross Turney Drums — The Band's "classic" Line-Up. Recordings From This Period Include The Vancouver Smash Hit "Lookin' At A Baby" New Syndrome 16 1967 Subsequently Reissued On The History Of Vancouver Rock Volume 3 1983 And Two Other 45s "Fisherwoman" And "Fat Bird." "Lookin' At A Baby" Is MOR Flute-Pop Floating Amidst Heady Clouds Of Psychedelia. Vickers' Departure From The Collectors In 1969 Necessitated Henderson's Promotion To Lead Vocalist. Also In 1969 The Collectors Were Chosen As The On-Stage Band For A Play Called Grass And Wild Strawberries Which Wasn't Quite A Hit Though There A Re A Couple Of Good Songs On The Sound Track. It Was After This That The Band Rethought Their Musical Approach And Rechristened Themselves As Chilliwack And Had A Successful Career Through The 70s And Into The 80s With Hits Like Crazy Talk And Fly At Night. 2 A Japanese Rock Band 1986- .

The Music? Has Been Defined By Some As ‘organic-Electronic' But Despite A Healthy Addiction To Stringed Instruments And Analogue Synths The Collectors Aren't Interested In Limiting Their Sound. “The Main Aim Is To Make The Music As Beautiful And Unique As We Can ” Says Tom “and With Our Own Musical Interests Ranging From The Maddest Electronic And Dub To The More Formulaic Renaissance Style The Project Represents A Kind Of Evolution”. Their Debut Album “also Came After A Period Of Struggle And Competition” Says Benet “but By The Time The Record Was Done We Felt We'd Improved A Lot As A Result Which Is Why We Called It Galapagos”. The First Taste Of The Collectors Will Be The Maya II E.P. Which Contains A Remix By Plaid . This Is To Be Followed By The Debut Album Galapagos. 4 A Chicago-Based Rock Band Formed In 2002. 5 A Brit-Pop Band Based In The North East Of England. read less
