They were formed in the Summer of 1968, signed within two months to a recording label and recorded their first album by the end of the Summer of 1968. That album was named "There's a War On" with the single from that album also named "There's a War On" with the flip side "Better Way". Their second album was recorded in December, 1968 and released in the Spring of 1969 and was called "Sunday Funnies" The single released from that LP was "Great White Whale" with the flip side "Lost Platoon" The members of the band included Marc Ellis (Songwriter, lead guitarist. vocals), Larry Milton(Songwriter, pianist, vocals and guitar), Joe Groff (lead vocals, percussion, oboe), Dave Troup (Bass, vocals), Charlie Osborne (Oganist, vocals) and Bill Yergin (Drums). The band never toured or performed under the name Rainbow Press and were a studio only band by the time they were signed to a recording contract. None of the band's members ever left college to pursue stardom with the band, opting to all continue with college. Their LPs have been rereleased on vinyl and on CDs in the 90s and in 2005, all in Europe.
