Coming Up: Gerry and the Pacemakers 'I Like It! Anthology 1963-1966' - Out Aug. 16


Pre-order now from Amazon.

Details:

Gerry And The Pacemakers were the first band to have their first three singles top the UK Singles Chart.

One of the foremost exponents of Merseybeat, they shared both a manager, Brian Epstein, and a producer, George Martin, with The Beatles, who they often supported. 

Like The Beatles they started out playing at legendary Liverpool clubs such as The Cavern and successfully followed The Beatles to the USA in 1964 as part of the "British Invasion."

In their early days, Gerry And The Pacemakers were The Beatles' biggest rivals though they were soon eclipsed by the Fab Four. 

All songs from their American and Canadian albums are included, many of which weren't originally issued in the UK. Their entire, exciting concert recorded at the Oakland Auditorium on 24 Oct. 24, 1964, is presented in stereo, as well as the four mono mixes of tracks extracted for use on the 'Gerry In California' EP.
