Based in L.A., The Olympics are arguably one of the most underrated R&B vocal groups of all time, and one of the few bands in rock & roll history to successfully straddle the line between music and comedy.

This release features their first two original LPs, which were recorded for the Arvee label between 1959 and 1960 : 'Doin' the Hully Gully' and 'Dance by the Light of the Moon'. These two essential albums have been packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 5 bonus tracks from the same period.

With their humorous lyrics, funny voices, and up-tempo beats, the band's style was reminiscent of The Coasters (although they had their own sound and were far from clones) - and few acts of the '50s and '60s could match the chilling excitement of The Olympics' R&B recordings.
