Best Of Gerry & The Pacemakers, The - Gerry & The Pacemakers

Advantages: Pure listening pleasure for Gerry Marsden fans.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is the Cilla Black track

...This is a must for Gerry and The Pacemakers fans. Pure listening pleasure. Gerry Marsden, the lead singer was in the sixties and is still a fantastic vocalist, he can have you up off your seat dancing with 'Shot of Rythm and Blues' and 'Jambalaya' and then completely slow down the mood with classic tracks such as 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' the ultimate football anthem (especially if you, like I am a fanatical Liverpool fan) There are 26 tracks to listen to both upbeat and slow I could not find any fault with this DVD except perhaps for the fact that two tracks did not feature Gerry but one featured the Fourmost, which was quite good but the other track Cilla Black, well it depends on your point of view but for me this track ruins the whole thing, (no offence Cilla) but you were at your best on Blind Date...

...and Liverpool had The Beatles, Cilla Black, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Scaffold. Is that comparison unfair? Of course it is. It is also tendentious and wildly inaccurate, to boot! But back to the review. In Search of the Lost Chord was originally released in July of 1968 on the Deram label. It reached 5 in the UK charts and 23 in the USA. An d it was released on one of those funny round black disks, that we called Long playing records, or LPs. It starts with Departure, and then goes into Ride my See Saw. This song is, indeed, a stirring anthemic song. Forget The Beatles! Never mind The Who! This song is all about leaving school and living he rest of your life. Gosh! I feel a frisson of emotion just thinking about Ride My see Saw! Next is Dr Livingstone, I Presume. Very well crafted lyrics with a good, solid tune. A song (reflected... Read review
