Anyone know this 60's band called The Cedars?

This band were from Lebanon, then moved to the UK. Very Beatles-like, infectious pop but with this added delicious middle eastern flavour. The vocals are sung in English. The songs I've heard so far are "Hide If You Want To", "I Like The Way", "For Your Information" and "I Don't Know Why". These comprised two 7" singles, but I believe there was a third. One website I found (but can't seem to re-find at the moment) said someone was going to release a whole CD of these guys. Did that ever happen? Come on ILM, help me out here.

I have a comp album w/ "For Your Information" on it that says they were from Israel and lived in England for a time. (This is maybe where the singles were recorded? One of the songs was on a later volume of the Rubble series.)

Tapestry of Delights says Lebanon, though.

"thanks a lot" and "undecidedly" are both on Decca "Scene" comps, when they were known as the Sea-Ders. great songs, very very unique guitar playing.
