The Canadian psychedelic rock band The Dorians was formed by John Unger and Bob Nixon in Kingsville, Ontario, in 1968. Over the period from 1969 to 1972, they released four singles recorded at "GM Studios" in Detroit (USA). "If I Were 21 And You Were 24/Wanna Hear Your Music Playing", "Help For My Waiting/ Means And Ways "Psychedelic Lipstick/Good Love "and" My Land Of Magic/Psychedelic Lipstick These hits have spread (have been reprinted several times) all over the world, in their native Canada on the label "GM", in Germany and Austria on "Vogue", in the Netherlands and other Benelux countries on "Stateside", in Italy and Switzerland on "PDU", in the neighboring States on "Big Tree", in Spain ("Belter"/"Discophon") and, of course, in the "old woman" of Britain ("Embers" label). Some of these songs were included in the only full-length album by The Dorians, entitled "Rock Concerto" (1970), released, of course, on vinyl, on the Swiss label "PDU (Platten Durcharbeitung Ultraphone)", now based in Liechtenstein. The Dorians were discovered by Ray Charles band member Floyd James in 1970.
