Synopsis

Album Description

For an album that's becoming a minor collectable, remarkably little is known about Rainbow Press, other than the band recorded two late '60s albums (There's A War On & Sunday Funnies) for the mysterious Mr. G label. the album itself is excellent late '60s soft rock with more than just a touch of psychedelia about it. The ten well-crafted songs are all original, and are delivered smoothly by a tight 6-piece band dominated by Joe Groff's superb vocals. Radioactive. 2004.

CD Reviews

Eminently hummable psychedelic pop

A. Groff | Eastern Mass. | 04/29/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Catchy, light-hearted tunes, most by songwriter Marc Ellis, with great vocals by Joe Groff (but I'm biased). The fuzz guitar and electric piano stand out. Lyrics firmly place this in the late 60s--Vietnam is in the background, but so are rainbows and flowers; these guys are musicians foremost and not protest singers, so it's about the music. Could have been bigger with more promotion, but they were college kids, not a touring band. Too bad!

NOTE: There is (at the time of this writing) a customer image above of an earlier CD release of BOTH Rainbow Press LPs, "There's a War On" and "Sunday Funnies." The one for sale here is just "There's a War On.""
