 While several Dutch pop groups of the era — namely Tee Set ("Ma Belle Amie"), Shocking Blue ("Venus"), and the George Baker Selection ("Little Green Bag") — all had hits in the United States on the Colossus label, resulting in what some music pundits jokingly called the "Dutch Invasion," the Outsiders were unable to join in on this success as their records were never released in the U.S.

After the summer of '67, many of the Nederbeat bands fell from commercial favor, including The Outsiders.Later, Outsiders singles had lower chart peaks, and personnel changes, friction, poor promotion and management problems followed.Experiments and changes in musical style, though critically well-regarded today, only served to alienate the band's fanbase.
