New album of rare recordings from the late great Gerard Marsden MBE (24 September 1942 – 3 January 2021)
Gerry and the Pacemakers had the distinction of having their first three hits go to number 1 in the UK charts. Although they never had a number 1 in the United States, they were the second-most successful group from Liverpool, after the Beatles, to have hits on the United States pop charts. Their 1965 musical film Ferry Cross the Mersey was co-written by Tony Warren.
Listed tracks have never before been available as an album collection in this combination, and as such they represent a significant tribute to the artist that was Gerry, whose distinctive voice and character come through on every track. Interestingly, while many of the tracks are original first recordings of the songs by Gerry, "Here I go again" is a cover of the hit by Edward Bear in Canada and "Can't you hear the song?" is a cover of the U.S. Top Twenty hit by Wayne Newton.
