A few singles were released under the Outsiders name, but when Tom King of the original band threatened legal action, the name of the band was changed to Climax (singles released under The Outsiders name included "Lovin' You"/"Think I'm Fallin'" and "Changes"/"Lost in My World"). The band was together from 1970 to 1976, during which they recorded one album, many singles and unreleased sides.Ĭlimax came out of the ashes of the 1960s hit band The Outsiders.
Other musicians who played on the band's lone album included Gordon MacKinnon ( double reed and woodwind solos) bassists Joe Osborn, Steve La Fever, Reinie Press, and Joe Bellamy keyboardist Larry Knechtel additional drummers John Raines and Earl Palmer and percussionist Alan Estes.

However, their style was very much "old wave" rock, which may account for the fact that they did not appear in Peel playlists and recorded no more sessions for Peel's shows after 1976. Like many groups of the era, they began as a blues band but moved into a more rock-based sound, and were popular in the US at the time they did their three mid-1970s Peel sessions. Peel often played tracks from the band on his show, and was especially fond of their "Sense of Direction", calling it the band's "finest hour" when he played it in 1975.
