CD reissue. This remarkable recording from 1963 collects together some of the greatest musicians from the early years of British rock and roll. All gathered together in the same place (the place being the Granada Studios). It is a peculiar record, because although this band of brothers were at the top of their game, the writing was already on the wall for them and their ilk. A tide of Merseybeat fronted by The Beatles was about to make these rockers (who were the same sort of age as the loveable mop tops) totally out of date. This record shows what might have been.
