There Stands The Door - The Best Of We Five

we five were the highest charting act to emerge from san francisco until the rise of creedence clearwater revival. their summer 1965 smash, 'you were on my mind', was as important as 'mr tambourine man' in introducing the public to the notion of folk-rock. this compilation brings overdue reassessment of this important group who, with the powerful lead vocals of bev bivens, had one of the most distinctive sounds in 60s pop. the collection draws upon the groups three albums for a&m, mostly produced under the careful auspices of frank werbers trident productions, as well as featuring rare gems such as the non-lp single 'there stands the door' and a host of previously unissued sides.
