Editor's review
Recorded in 1981 by Robert Chapman and actor David Merry, these 13 songs contain an overwhelming love for times gone by. Loaded with "period charm" and an unflinching devotion to the roots of Merseybeat, Chapman & Merry have created their own lost classic.
Biography
Robert Chapman was a great Beatles fan, as was David Merry! A perfect writing partnership, as the Beatles had long since finished, the duo decided to write songs in the many styles of music that the Beatles had left with us!
All of the recordings were produced onto a 4-track TEAC analog reel to reel! The first 2 recordings were mastered at Kenilworth Rd Studio, Harold Wood in 1979, by the "Black Cats" guitarist (Chris Vertez) who also sessioned as the lead guitarist on these tracks "Died in the Crash" and "Breakaway" ....... the rest of the tracks were mastered at "The Lower Whopping Conker Co" in Brentwood high Street, until the Studio moved to Victoria Road in Romford in 1981, which was better for the recording duo, as they both lived in Romford.
