Um duplo LP deveras interessante: além da música propriamente dita, junta também trechos dos Beatles, da primeira banda de Ringo Starr, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, e da segunda de Pete Best, Pete Best Four, e recorda frases deliciosas sobre os Beatles e a música de então:

The guitar's all right, John, but you'll never make a living out of it (John Lennon's aunt Mimi)

The Beatles? They're a passing phase, symptons of the uncertainty of the times and the confusion about us (doctor Billy Graham)

The Mersey Sound is the voice of 80.000 crumbling houses and 30.000 people on the dole (Daily Worker)

These Beatles are completely anti-Christ. They are preparing our teenagers for riot and ultimate revolution against our Christian republic (rev. David Noebel)

It just had to break out big here - there were too many groups for people not to notice (Chants)

Groups of guitars are on the way out. mr. Epstein, you really should stick to selling records in Liverpool (Dick Rowe)

I don't think we'll be the last Liverpool name to get into the charts. The Big Three and Billy J. Kramer are people you'll be hearing about soon. See If I'm not wrong (Gerry Marsden)

Liverpool? You're joking! So what's from Liverpool? (Dick James)

Ah! E é mais uma colectânea com Beatles...
