The Merseybeats emerged from the Liverpool band scene during the Gold Rush years. With their combination of Everly Brothers-esque vocal harmonies and skillfully chosen beat-boom ballads, they recorded several hit singles (including "I Think of You," which reached the Top Five), a couple of highly popular EPs, and a self-titled album that spent several months on the LP charts.
After their superb version of "I Stand Accused" (a favorite of local teenager Elvis Costello, who later covered the song) failed to achieve the widespread success it deserved, band leaders Tony Crane and Billy Kinsley reinvented themselves as the vocal duo The Merseys, recording "Sorrow," one of the classic pop hits of the mid-1960s, later referenced in the Beatles' song "It's All Too Much" and brought back into the charts a few years later by David Bowie.
Following 'Sorrow' came a handful of Merseybeats singles, which, while less commercially successful, are now highly regarded by admirers of late 1960s British pop and psychedelia and are now, for the first time, legitimately collected under one roof.
I Stand Accused: The Complete Merseybeats and Merseys Sixties Recordings contains everything known to have been recorded by both acts, including demos, outtakes, alternate versions, and home recordings. The set also includes the various splinter projects that took place concurrently, with a pseudonymous single as Crackers and some highly sought-after 45s featuring Merseybeats drummer John Banks and former Big Three bassist Johnny Gustafson, who briefly replaced Kinsley in the Merseybeats.
I Stand Accused, a 2-CD release in digipak, contains many great color photographs as well as a new 9,000-word essay detailing the fascinating careers of both bands, including their relationships with the Beatles and Brian Epstein before their fame, their adventures with The Who (with whom they shared the same management team, resulting in John Entwistle and Keith Moon playing on a handful of Mersey's tracks), and their unwanted role in the story surrounding the dismissal of Pete Best.
