THIS MERSEYBEAT COMPILATION ALBUM WAS RELEASED BY PARLOPHONE AS A 2 DISC SET OF MERSEY BEAT BANDS INCLUDING SOME OF THE RARER GROUPS BUT AS THEY OWNED THE BEATLES CATALOGUE RATHER THAN THE USUAL BEATLE TRACKS ON COMPILATIONS THEY COULD PICK AND CHOOSE SO SETTLED FOR "SHE LOVES YOU" AND "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND"
