	Merseybeat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Merseybeat, sometimes referred to as Merseysound, was a style of music popular during the 1960s.
		A newspaper called "Merseybeat" was founded and edited by Bill Harry, and it was the first publication to have the Beatles on the cover in journalistic history.
		One of the most popular merseybeat bands was called The Merseybeats.

		Merseybeat (Beatles pre-Beatles For Sale, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, The Searchers, et al.) has long provided a foundation for bands that promote the essence of rocking pop music.
		To celebrate the reissue 11 tracks have been added to the original nine, all of which were recorded 20 years after the ascent of Mersey's first musical incarnations.
		By way of comparison, the high church of modern Merseybeat is usually considered in the context of the Spongetones.

	UNEARTHED MERSEYBEAT VOLUME 2 - VARIOUS ARTISTS - UNEARTHED MERSEYBEAT VOLUME 2 - VIPER - -
		Subtitled "The Golden Age 1961-1966", Viper's second compilation of rare Merseybeat sounds focuses on the time when The Beatles ruled the airwaves and anyone with the hint of a Scouse accent was taken seriously in the beat group arena.
		Sure, they are often partially obscured by the dirt and grime of the best part of four decades out of the public domain, but with a bit of loving care and buffing up by the Viper boys, their patina again begins to shine through.
		They are possibly the absolute Merseybeat enigmas: aside from a fearsome live reputation, sod all is known about them, yet their "Clarabella" is a memorably great rave up.

	The Viper Label - UNEARTHED MERSEYBEAT FROM THE BIRTH OF MERSEYBEAT TO PSYCHEDELIA 1957 - 1968
		For the first time this album tells the complete story of the birth of Merseybeat, from the beginnings with the impact of skiffle and Rock 'n' Roll (Lonnie Donegan, Buddy Holly, Elvis etc) - influencing a whole generation of musicians - through its heyday, to late 60's psychedelia.
		Eventually a new sound emerged dubbed 'Merseybeat' (Like all musical definitions, 'Merseybeat' was a broad term to apply to numerous bands with that unique Liverpool sound).
		With The Beatles, 'Merseybeat' was huge and continued to be for a number of years until like every musical fad, it faded.

		ROCK 'n' roll archivist Spencer Leigh believes that the selection of Liverpool as the European Capital of Culture 2008 is well deserved - and our contribution to music was a vital factor in the bid.
		Spencer wasn't a fan of the illfated proposed Fourth Grace structure, but he hopes that when a new design is announced it will house a Merseybeat museum.
		Of all his musical history reference books, Spencer is rightly proud of Twist and Shout which includes a full Merseybeat discography and a listing of more than 300 tracks that are known to exist but have yet to be issued.

		And although they are by far the most famous of the city's sons, Liverpool would have become a focal point for the music industry even if The Beatles had emigrated to Australia in 1961.
		By February 1964, The Fab Four were taking Merseybeat to the United States when they flew into New York and seventy three million American viewers watched them on the Ed Sullivan Show.
		Such was the devotion of local Liverpool fans to their 'own' sound (and groups) that 100 youths barricaded themselves in the Cavern as a protest against its closure in February 1966.

		The multi-talented Sprague is said to have over a thousand songs already written and is currently working on recording his next release.

		Liverpool's current resurgence remains vital and exciting, but also gives us the chance to re-evaluate past genius like the recent Wild Swans "Incandescent" compilation and now "Unearthed Merseybeat", which is as close to an all-star Merseyside "Nuggets" as you could ever wish for.
