The Existence of Chance Is Everything and Nothing While the Greatest Achievement Is the Living of Life, and so Say ALL OF US, or simply All of Us, is a 1968 release by the British psychedelic-rock group Nirvana, which includes "Tiny Goddess," "Trapeze," and "Frankie the Great". Their most well-known song, "Rainbow Chaser," leads off, with its prominent phasing effects; "Tiny Goddess," one of their ballads, comes next. "Rainbow Chaser" was a #1 single in Denmark in April 1969 where It stayed in the top 10 for a month.
The cover shot is a monochrome reproduction of Les Conquérants (The Conquerors) painted in 1892 by Pierre Fritel, and depicts some of world history's most famous figures leading a procession through a mass of dead bodies. "Rainbow Chaser" was to be their only UK top 40 hit and the three-part run of "Girl In The Park", "Miami Masquerade" and "Frankie The Great" represents the most pop-centric product of their psychedelic formula.
The 2003 Universal Island Remasters collection features 16 tracks including 4 B-sides as bonus tracks:
All songs composed by Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos
