Collection was a Belgian pop rock group active in the late 1960s and
early 1970s.Wallace Collection was formed from the ashes of a group
called Sylvester's Team, three of which began playing under the name
16th Century along with bassist Christian Jannsens and two members of
the Belgian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Raymond Vincent and Jacques
Namotte.Wallace Collection based itself out of Britain, naming itself
after the famous museum adjacent to the headquarters of their record
label, EMI. Their debut studio album, Laughing Cavalier, was recorded at
Abbey Road Studios and was released in 1969. The single "Daydream"
became a hit in 21 countries, including going #1 in Belgium. In the wake
of its success, the group toured Europe, the United States, Mexico, and
South America. They also composed the soundtrack to a French film, La
Maison, in 1970. Later singles, such as "Love" and "Serenade", were hits
in Belgium and some other countries but did not reach the level of
"Daydream", and the group split up in 1971.
