Synopsis

Album Description
This essential 2-CD set explores the music of the Merseybeat phenomenon, focusing on the major players, The Beatles, of course, but also Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Big Three, The Searchers, The Undertakers, and The Swinging Blue Jeans among many others. These are all brought together with a welter of cult classics and intriguing oddities. Incorporating all strands of the scene, Merseybeat gives equal space to the beat merchants, the R&B bands, the mods, the rockers, the girl groups and the balladeers to come up with the ultimate primer of a movement that effectively kick-started modern British music. Castle Music. 2006.

"All one has to do is compare this two disc CD with any Rhino release and its of that quality. It takes LESSER name groups and gives them their day in the sun. All original tracks and well worth the money,good show"
