The New Mersey Sound
Harking back to 1977 Liverpool where the basement club Eric's provided the venue for an explosion of music. Not since the Beatles has the city known such intense musical activity.
Featuring Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Teardrop Explodes, Pete Burns, Electrafixion, KLF, Big In Japan, Wah!, Echo And The Bunnymen, Holly Johnson and The Lightning Seeds. Contains some strong language. [S]

@ Zohnny Foreign: I don't the the 'Back count as part of that Liverpool scene, I allas thought they were more London centred anyway?

I really need to get TV other than the terrestrial channels.
