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]

They don't even mention Shriekback? How very dare they!

oooh

I have it on tape from ages ago, it really is worth watching Wylie's a laugh.

@ 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 have a recording of theirs there, that's what I meant, not so much scenes (as I believe tis a rather good one too)

I prefer The Rutland Sound. Always have.

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

Yes you can all point and laugh.

Don't bother, it's all repeats and rubbish.
