The Underdogs' work has been included on various garage rock compilations such as the 1998 Nuggets 4-CD box set released on Rhino Records.

Inspired by the success of English bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the Underdogs were formed in 1964 by several Grosse Pointe, Michigan high school students led by Dave Whitehouse.

In spite of the controversy surrounding "Man in the Glass", Hideout issued a sampler LP later that year featuring both sides of the Underdogs' last single plus two new cuts, "Surprise, Surprise", which had been previously recorded by the Rolling Stones, and "Get Down on Your Knees" written by Bob Seger, along with Dave Leone and band member Dave Whitehouse.

[1] Seger originally wrote "East Side Story" for The Underdogs, but because Hideout was dissatisfied with their version, he proceeded to record it himself with the Heard.

[2] Reprise was now out of the picture, but the Underdogs' hometown popularity attracted the interest of Motown Records who signed them to a deal with their VIP label.

[1] Eventually the Grande Ballroom superseded the Hideout as the hottest teen club in the Detroit area, simultaneously coinciding with the Underdogs retreat from the music scene and breakup.

[6] The Underdogs version of "Love's Gone Bad" was included on Rhino Records' 1998 deluxe 4-CD box set edition of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968.
