The Merseybeats were created during 1962 from the remnants of a previous group called the Mavericks. The new group became a popular local act and soon became signed to Brian Epstein in the rush to find Liverpool talent. However, the relationship with Epstein did not last long because the group's ideas on the direction they wanted to take clashed with the Beatles' manager. Their stage act was a good deal closer to rock and roll than the ballads that they recorded for their 45s. Nevertheless, they managed 28 with their first release and broke the top ten with "I Think Of You". Although their subsequent releases were generally well crafted and gained reasonable chart placings, they never quite managed to produce another really substantial hit Merseybeats' EPs are very sought after and hard to find.This one on offer contains both sides of their first two 45s. It's probably much easier (and cheaper) to buy those tracks on the original singles.price rating
