We're In This Thing Together - The Carrolls

The Carrolls - We're In This Thing Together (CBS).

We’re In This Thing Together (1969)

The Carrolls were a British group. This track was a big record at Manchester’s Blue Note club in 69 by Peaches and Herb. Eventually it has been picked up around 2006 on the Northern Soul scene. This one by The Carrolls on the UK CBS label was the distributors for DATE records US so I guess this British group heard it at their record label, liked it and did a version. Not a bad effort.

TWIST AND SHOUT

The Beatles loved Soul music and did their own versions of many R&B, Blues, Soul and Motown recordings. Through appreciating the Beatles and finding out the original artists of some of the songs they did influenced many people to find their way to the original artists. This Twist and Shout EP was the first EP I ever bought. Of course it was the Isley Brothers who made the original of Twist And Shout, but the Beatles did a good job.Another notable was Mr Postman – original by The Marvelettes.

Then in 1966 they did an LP with all their own music and called it Rubber Soul!

In Their Liverpool Home

Beatles’ Childhood Homes

John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Stuart Sutcliffe were all members of the BEATLES and they all came from Liverpool. The city is a seaport in North West England; tough grimy and somewhat depressing in the fifties and sixties it is currently emerging as a new vibrant tourist location. Much of this new tourist activity is due to the Beatles.

Liverpool is full of Beatles locations. There are several museums dedicated to the Fab Four, in the city. Stuart Sutcliffe died in Hamburg before they made national fame in the UK. One of Stuart’s homes is now a hotel and there are three more Beatles related hotels in the city: The Brian Epstein Guest House, The Hard Days Night Hotel and The Eleanor Rigby Hotel.

The childhood homes of the Beatles are still standing, almost, as Ringo’s first house is in a street of boarded up houses; pending upgrading or demolition. Beatles tourists can visit Paul McCartney’s home and also the home of John Lennon’s Aunty ‘Mimi’ where John was brought up: 1945 – 1963.

The very first location that the Beatles played at was not the Cavern Club but a coffee bar: The Casbah Coffee Club. The Beatles even decorated the place and its still there with John’s painted walls and you can appreciate their insects theme; as a huge spiders web is painted at the back of the stage area.

There are lots of places in the city that have strong connections with the Beatles and inevitably lots of tours to take you there, from exclusive taxis, walking tours and a Magical Mystery Tour bus.

The Cavern club has been re-built in the original Mathew Street where the Beatles appeared 282 times. The cavern was the fourth location that the Beatles played at after the Casbah: they played at the Jacaranda and The Blue Angel clubs in the city, both locations were owned by their first manager, Alan Williams.

Two songs about places in Liverpool were written by Lennon & McCartney: ‘Penny Lane’ and ‘Strawberry Fields For Ever’. ‘In My Life’: places I remember’ is John’s nostalgic song about his Liverpool home and Ringo did two: ‘Snookeroo’ & ‘Liverpool 8’.

John called his home city ‘LIDDYPOOL’ in poems he wrote: ‘A Spaniard in the Works’ and ‘In His Own Write’.

LIDDYPOOL the book by David Bedford has an introduction by Pete Best, the fifth Beatle, who of course also came from Liverpool.

The Beatles were all born in Liverpool, George, Ringo and Paul in (council) city owned rented small houses, common housing estates in the UK. John was brought up by his aunt Mimi in a better off location and in a privately owned house. All the homes of the Beatles are still standing, and John’s and Paul’s are now Nationally owned and saved for the British nation and can be booked for a visit. But don’t expect anything like Elvis’s Graceland, these are much more humble locations.

Later they played at the THE CAVERN CLUB Mathew Street – 182 times! A replica is open and its very popular.

Beatles City LIVERPOOL

John Lennon called it Liddypool; the city that the FAB FOUR came from. This LENS is about the BEATLES Liverpool associations with their home town.
It can be a short guide to Beatles places and associations in Liverpool for people planning a visit to the city.
It will provide links to information services about the city.
Liverpool is becoming a huge tourist destination due to the Beatles.

Its BEATLES CITY! Liddypool and every Beatles fan or tourist visiting the city should get the book which is featured at the end of this Lens.

Beatles Tour Of Liverpool LIDDYPOOL

Rows of terraced houses and each with two or three chimney pots. A city with its buildings coated in soot, from years of industrial pollution and only a few years after the second world war: that was the city when the Beatles were born.
Who would expect or predict the changes since then.
Today Liverpool is a metropolitan city of many cultures and fabulous buildings and great places to see and lots of interesting things to do.
The Beatles played their part in the resurgence of the city. Liverpool was a dying port in the 1960’s but today its a vibrant tourist destination. A lesson that Detroit could learn and do all things Motown!
There are so many Beatles places and stories and exhibitions to see in Liverpool. When you ad that to a great resurgent city and its friendly and entertaining locals every visitor be they Beatles fans or visiting the city for other reasons will be amazed by the vibrancy of a city that once was a lost cause, when it lost its businesses, had local political strife and a great deal of dereliction.
Today its a proud city today its Liverpool the BEATLES CITY!

All Things BEATLE – In the BEATLES CITY

Everything about the BEATLES has been said, printed, published filmed and made available in a huge variety of ways so its not going to be repeated here. What you will find is information of a general nature and specific information about the Beatles things to do and see in the city

JOHN LENNON AIRPORT
South of the city once known as Speke Airport due to its location in the area known as Speke, the airport has been re-named and dedicated to John Lennon. There is a statue and lots of memorabilia on display. When the airport was dedicated to John, Yoko attended as guest of honour.
On a more humorous note Speke is not related to how the locals use their vocabulary that’s called Scouse!

MATHEW STREET
A narrow back street where the Cavern club was located and arguably the most famous music history street in the world with apologies to Beale Street in Memphis! Mathew Street is also historic for another club that was important in the Punk and subsequent music scene in Liverpool: ERICS.

Along Mathew Street are lots of locations connected with the Beatles: A Beatles Shop with lots of memorabilia, a stature of John Lennon, a bar with plaques on the outside wall with the names of all the Mersey Beat artists and bands, a shopping centre: Cavern Walks with a centre piece life size statue of the Fab Four and here also the Rubber Soul Bar. The Beatles Hotel – A Hard Days Night; is just on the corner.
There are several pubs on the Street and outside one is a plaque commemorating Carl Gustav Jung’s dream about Liverpool; as the ‘Well Spring’.

THE CASBAH COFFEE CLUB
The Beatles, as the Quarrymen, kicked off this club and its the first place they played named as the Beatles; they also decorated it. Long before the group was a hit at the Cavern. Its a MUST visit location for any Beatles Fan.

THE CAVERN
The famous club where the Beatles played live 282 times. However Ringo played here first as the drummer in a Skiffle band in 1957. The very next month John Lennon’s first group The Quarrymen played at the Cavern. Ringo played the club again in 1960 as a member of Rory Storm & The Hurricanes. The very first appearance at the club by the Beatles was: the ninth of February 1961 (without Ringo).
The club was owned and opened in 1957 by Alan Synter, who wanted to start a Paris styled Jazz club, however it was Skiffle and Blues that became more popular.
The Cavern was used in WW2 as a public air raid shelter as Liverpool was heavily bombed in the early years of the war.
ALL THE BEST CLUBS ARE IN CELLARS! The Cavern was the fulcrum of what would become the Liverpool Beat sound: The Mersey Beat with lots of Beat groups playing the club.

STRAWBERRY FIELD
Visit the Gate to the place where John Lennon would go through to children’s parties with his Auntie Mimi. John’s fond memories of this Salvation Army home for children – playing in its fields and going to parties are immortalized in his song Strawberry Fields Forever.

PENNY LANE
Another Beatles Song about a Liverpool location; a Street named Penny Lane in the Mossley Hill district of Liverpool were John and Paul met to catch a bus into the ‘Town’ centre. The song was written by Paul but is credited to Lennon-McCartney. In the 1980’s a local brewer – Higsons – brought out bear mat coasters with a character named Penny Lane, to advertise their beer, it had nothing to do with the Beatles.

The BEATLES STORY MUSEUM
The BEATLES Museum at the Albert Dock Britannia Pavilion; a comprehensive themed tour inside a cellar at one of Liverpool’s iconic buildings a huge modernized waterfront once a shipping warehouse complex. Also nearby is a Beatles shop selling everything you could imagine about the Beatles, from key rings to expensive CD Box sets.

THE JACARANDA CLUB
The Beatles first ever performance was at the JACARANDA CLUB which went bust and closed in November 2011(but may reopen in 2012). Owned by Allan Williams (the first Beatles manager) so you can understand why they played here. However Paul McCartney and Stuart Sutcliffe used to go and drink here as it was a Pub and a Club.

JOHN LENNONS FAVOURITE PUB
The most ornate pub in England that’s the Philharmonoic and it was John Lennon’s Favourite Pub. An ‘Arte Nuevo’ styled public house where most members of the orchestra would drink between intervals from the Phiharmonic Halls just over the road in Hope Street. John used to drink a pint of Higson’s Bitter; a beer that has made a comeback in the city after the brewery closed. However a new micro brewery has re- launched the beer and just like John you too can have one at this great Liverpool landmark tavern!

THE BLUE ANGEL
Another Club & Bar owned by Allan Williams, where John would drink.
The Beatles performed here in the early sixties.

YE CRACKE Pub
John Lennon’s pub: the pub where John used to date his first wife Cynthia Lennon.

LEWIS’S DEPARTMENT STORE ENTRANCE
Under a statue exceedingly rare: because its a bare figure of a man above the entrance to Lewis’s store in Liverpool where Paul McCartney worked. Cynthia and John would wait outside in the entrance underneath the statue for Paul to finish work. The statue and the store are there for tourists to visit but its now called PRIMARK.

The PIER HEAD
A Ferry Cross The Mersey a song made famous by the Beatles friend and contemporary Gerry (Marsden) and the Pacemakers. At the Pier Head where the ferries do cross the river Mersey, you will find a museum and a shop all about the Beatles.

A HARD DAYS NIGHT HOTEL
Beatles Hotel; everything about the Beatles for the Beatles lover and tourist. Its a luxury Beatles themed hotel with all four of the Fab Lads pictures and statues outside, and its on the corner of Mathew Street.

BEATLES HOUSES
The house that each Beatle lived in as children are all still there and various tours even taxi’s will take you there, but please don’t annoy the neighbours, who have lots of visitors in their street morning noon and night.

MENDIPS
This is the home of John’s auntie Mimi @ 251 Menlove Avenue Woolton Liverpool L25 7SA

20 FORTHLIN ROAD
The Home of the McCartney family
Beatles childhood homes – now owned by the nation: The National Trust.

Making Time

I Got The Fever – 1968

The Creation were a mod band very much in The Who mould. They never found sustained success – even with Ronnie Wood in the line up. They appeared at the Twisted Wheel Club in Manchester on at least one occasion.

They were formed in 1966 in Middlesex, England and disbanded in 1968.

In 1966 after the success of Making Time and Painter Man lead guitarist Eddie Phillips was asked by Pete Townshend to join The Who. Later they bucked the trend and recorded soul tracks when everyone else was moving into psychedelia – the covered Cool Jerk.

Ronnie Wood was a member just before the group disbanded in 1968.

Cream

Cream - Strange Brew

Strange Brew – Reaction 591 015, 1967

Sunshine Of Your Love – Polydor 56 286, 1968

Cream – all three members of Cream played at the original Twisted Wheel in Manchester with various other groups. Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce appeared with The Graham Bond Organisation and Eric Clapton with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Jack Bruce also played with Manfred Mann and John Mayall – there was an almost incestuous relationship with many of the UK Blues, R ‘n B groups at that time in the sixties.

Strange Brew was a track played at the Twisted Wheel and later at the Blue Note as was Sunshine of your Love – not soul but blues related which fitted in with the DJs at the time having a strong affinity for the crossover blues/soul material which was being released – Albert King’s Bluespower being a prime example.

I think the first ever live performance of “Sunshine Of Your Love” was at the Twisted Wheel in 1967?

It was also recorded by the Soul artist Spanky Williams.

Chris Andrews

I’m Her Yesterday Man

(Played at the original Twisted Wheel club, Manchester)

Chris Andrews started as the lead singer with Chris Ravel & The Ravers. He made his TV debut on 14th March 1959 on the mould breaking Oh Boy! show.

He was signed by Eve Taylor, who also
looked after the careers of Adam Faith and Sandie Shaw.

Chris Andrews started out as a song writer and penned Long Live Love, Girl Don’t Come and Message Understood for Sandie Shaw. His own follow up single was

To Whom It Concerns.

My own favourite Chris Andrews song was Girl Don’t Come, again for Sandi Shaw.

Song Lyrics – I’m Her Yesterday Man, Chris Andrews

I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
that’s what I am, her yesterday man

Please tell me something have you met an angel
Someone too lovely to live on earth
Well yesterday I thought I met an angel but
she wasn’t worth what she seemed to be worth

Oh, what a fool I have been
I was sure taken in

Yeah, I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
that’s what I am, her yesterday man

Get some of the good kind and some of the bad kind
Some of the others or in between
But all that I can say she is the worse kind
Well I think you know what I mean

And yet for all I say
I take the bad any day

Now I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
I’m her yesterday man
well my friends that’s what I am
that’s what I am, her yesterday man

…oh come a little closer baby don’t get tell me
you gonna leave me, you leave me, I know that, I know that…

Chris Barber - Just A Closer Walk With Thee

Chris Barber was very influential in the early days of the British Blues movement as well as being an extremely competent jazz man. Years ago the band had a superb jazz and blues singer – Ottilie Patterson who did excellent covers of blues standards, occasionally in duet with blues and gospel singers such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Chris Barber had a hit with an instrumental that was played at R ‘n B and Soul clubs in the early 60’s – not sure what it was called. I first saw them live at the Lancaster Club AVRO’s Christmas dance 1962/3.

Chris Farlowe

Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time (1966)

Van Morrison and Chris Farlowe - Transformation - Later 25 live at the Royal Albert Hall

Out Of Time

Buzz With The Fuzz

Chris Farlowe had only one major hit – Out Of Time. Many rigid mainstream soul fans objected to white, especially English performers attempting to sound like black singers. There is no doubt, however, that he had a fine, strong and soulful voice.

The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in one of their most fruitful periods of writing – they created a peculiarly British sound which encapsulated the feel of the time. Out Of Time was given plenty of airings at the many soul venues in the 1960s. It became a number one hit in the UK.

Interestingly, Chris Farlowe released a Blues track on Sue UK as Little Joe Cook – Stormy Monday Blues. Part 1 / Stormy Monday Blues, Part 2 in 1965.
The Story is told on the DVD Red White and Blues. The real Little Joe Cook is a Doo Wop legend.

Red White and Blue (DVD) Synopsis

Taking a uniquely British look at the impact of the blues, acclaimed director Mike Figgis helms this Martin Scorsese produced film. The genre was highly influential on white British musicians and audiences, and in the 1960s the Brits just couldn’t get enough of the blues. Largely ignored in America at the time, the music was appropriated by bands such as the Rolling Stones, and then re-sold back to America in a more palatable mainstream form. Figgis’s film charters this interesting phenomenon, and draws on many British and American musicians.

Chris left the music world in 1972 and returned in 1975 with The Chris Farlowe Band Live on Polydor.

He tours today in his own right and with 1960s nostalgia tours, together with many other old rocker anxious to top up their pension pots. He has recently (2009) appeared on the same bill as Alan Price, Zoot Money, Maggie Bell and Bobby Tench on a ‘A Night at The Flamingo’ tour. No longer recognisable as the slick suited mod of old, his voice is still able to produce a severe case of nostalgia in the ageing audiences that these tours attract.

Over Under Sideways Down

The Yardbirds were among the first wave of UK original white blues, in fact their name comes from an old blues standard. Tragically, the original lead singer, Keith Relf, was killed by electrocution while playing his guitar in the basement of his home. This was long after the breakup of the group in 1968, however.

Other members of the group went on to form Led Zeppelin. Their version of the old standard Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was turned into what can only be described as a UK beat group pop song, redeemed only by some excellent guitar work by Eric Clapton. Nowadays, of course, the title and lyrics could be perceived as dubious to say the least and probably won’t get too many plays on the BBC.

They originated from Surrey and were big, big favourites of Roger Eagle at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. He played lots of their tracks and booked them to appear live at the club at least twice, they were absolutely hugely appreciated at the ‘Wheel’.

The Yardbirds - For Your Love — The Yardbirds – For Your Love

Most of their early songs were copies of original American blues artists e.g. Billy Boy Arnold. Then they began to write their own great stuff. The blond one bashing his bongos madly at the Wheel was a great sight.

The line-up – Keith Relf (vocals), Paul Samwell-Smith (bass), Chris Dreja (rhythm guitar), Jim McCarty (drums), and Anthony ‘Top’ Topham (lead guitar) who was soon replaced by Eric Clapton. Later they changed their line up to include Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, both first rate guitarists.

They toured with Sonny Boy Williamson and cut a live album still available on CD.

Time of The Season

What’s Your Name, Who’s Your Daddy

From St Albans, Rod Argent and singer Colin Blunstone re-formed The Zombies. There can be no doubt they wrote and performed some of the most memorable rock songs ever. Time of The Season and She’s Not There still sound as fresh today as when they were released. I last saw Colin Blunstone sing in 2004 when he was touring with Paul Jones. His voice was still remarkable.

In the early 1960s they appeared at the Wheel and at Manchester‘s Top Ten Club at Belle Vue.
