I just changed the lyrics for this version. It was originally called 'Baby Please Don't Go' would you believe. We recorded this version as a B-side of a single in a little studio in Bond Street. Die Datenschutzbestimmungen habe ich zur Kenntnis genommen.

Namespaces Article Talk. It became their proud boast that they supported The Beatles at The Cavern on more occasions than any other group. The next step was to shorten the name to The Merseybeats and the hot young act was signed to the Fontana label in June These haunting, yet lusty vocal performances epitomised the character of Liverpool's pop scene.

Strength, romanticism and a down to earth attitude prevailed. A sense of humour and cheeky confidence also helped make the rest of the world sit up and take notice. Soon The Merseybeats were touring Britain and Europe, playing to hysterical hordes of screaming fans.

But the rollercoaster ride of stardom had taken its toll on the young musicians. Billy Kinsley left for a while to recover and subsequently formed an outfit called the Kinsleys. However, an EP titled 'On Stage', although not 'live' the title reminded Johnny Gustafson that their 'live' performances were much tougher. Gustafson toured and recorded with The Merseybeats during the period Billy was out of the group. He also wrote some of the material the band used on the studio album.

They just wanted to knock an LP out quickly, to capitalise on the hit singles. Some forty years after these events, Johnny Gustafson lives peacefully in Whitstable, Kent, but has fond memories of the crazy Sixties.

Brian Griffiths the guitarist and I decided to team up with another drummer and we drove around Europe in search of gigs.

Doesn't have the sounds that made the "merseybeat" popular in the rest of the country. Liverpuddlins will probably love it. One person found this helpful. Thank you for your feedback.

Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again. Ten of the 25 tracks here are already available on a zillion other releases and those that remain hardly encompass 'Merseybeat'. OK, this CD won't cost much but then you don't get that much for your money anyway. In typical EMI style, what text there is within the insert doesn't tell you what you really want to know: when the song was recorded, how it came about, the personnel on the track, what happened to the artist after. They may have been limited to their own labels, but I'm sure the compilers of this could have found far more worthwhile tracks in the vaults.

Sanctuary's 'Beat Beat Beat' is far superior, but then Pye seemed to sign just about anyone at the time, whilst the 'Unearthed Merseybeat' series on Viper outperforms everything else on offer..
