Liverpool Sunset : The City After Merseybeat 1964-1969
Description
“Waterloo Sunset” is now considered the best song about London. It is therefore surprising to discover that it was originally about another city. Looking at groups who had become huge stars three years earlier but could no longer buy a hit — the Searchers, Billy J Kramer, Gerry and the Pacemakers — Ray Davies of the Kinks wrote “Liverpool Sunset” as a sign of sympathy. Compiled by Bob Stanley of Saint-Etienne, with detailed liner notes, “Liverpool Sunset” explores an exciting but overlooked era in the city’s musical history, covering soul, R&B, psychedelia and freakbeat. As this collection clearly shows, the city was still producing new bands in the late 60s and still making great records; it’s just that the world had started looking elsewhere for its music fix.
