From 1963 until late 1965 Ray Columbus & The Invaders reigned supreme in New Zealand and Australia with their unique brand of Pop and R'n'B. They toured with some of the biggest names from the period. By mid-1966, a solo Ray arrived in the USA to the headline, AMERICA DISCOVERS COLUMBUS, where he became part of the happening scene in San Francisco. For the first time you can hear 29 tracks that combine Ray's Invaders period with the best of his San Francisco and New Zealand solo recordings from the Sixties, presenting the definitive album of this legendary figure. In case you were wondering...yes he is related to the other Columbus.
