The Overlanders were a highly underrated group whose history took them from the prime years of the British Invasion into the Summer of Love -- their one U.K. hit, a chart-topping British single of the Lennon-McCartney song "Michelle," usually gets them pegged as a cover band, while their origins as a folk group specializing in harmony vocals often gets them lumped in with Silkie, the Ivy League, and other vocal ensembles. Their actual sound was a beautifully wrought synthesis of folk-inspired vocals and Merseybeat-style harmonies, rhythms, and instrumentation; they were comparable, in some ways, to the Searchers, with whom they shared the same producer, Tony Hatch. In 2001, 34 years after they broke up, Castle Records issued the Overlanders' complete released recordings: Michelle: The Pye Anthology.
