Product Description
CD Description
* Beryl Marsden played a key part of the Merseybeat boom of the 1960s and yet amazingly this is her first-ever CD compilation.
* Changes celebrates her 50th year of performing with her entire recorded output.
* All of Beryl's 1960s singles for Decca and Columbia are present, including her two duets with Peter Bardens / Tony Colton in the Shotgun Express, the hugely collectable Mod dancer `What She's Got' and an elusive live track from the rare Decca album At The Cavern.
* Changes also boasts her obscure 1981 single `Hungry For You' (produced by Pete Bardens) and some fascinating recent recordings, including a version of `I'll Be There', her performance of which closed the recent TV documentary on The Cavern.

If you asked most people about girl singers out of Liverpool during the Merseybeat boom, they'd think of Cilla Black. But the Cavern's ex-cloakroom attendant wasn't the only lass to make a splash. Beryl Marsden was probably a lot more popular locally and had a plucky, energetic voice closer to maybe Lulu's than Cilla's. She also looked stunning and had a tomboy-ish quality at odds with the times. Amazingly, this is her first retrospective - and it's fitting that Changes should appear on RPM, a label which boasts an exhaustive range of 60s girl CDs which is second-to-none.
In one sense, Changes is a game of two halves. The first offers Beryl's entire 60s output for Decca and Columbia, from early solo 45s (including several Motown covers and the Mod nugget 'What's She Got') to two singles with The Shotgun Express. The first was with Rod Stewart. Interestingly, she didn't actually sing on the second: the version here of 'Funny 'Cos Neither Could I' is a previously unissued early take). Also present is a lively track from Decca's At The Cavern album.
The rest of the compilation is given over to Beryl's occasional recordings since the 60s, starting with a pseudonymous 45 in the late 70s as Lynn Jackson ('Sad Songs') and the Blondie-like 'Hungry For You' through to a spate of recordings in the noughties, most of which subtly update the 60s girl group sound. The album then ends with a new acoustic performance of Bobby Darin's 'I'll Be There' (the original of which used to end proceedings at the Cavern back in the day).
While Beryl didn't boast a voice of the quality of, say, Dusty Springfield, she has a soulful quality which has been shamefully overlooked - until now. Word is that Beryl is going to busy in 2012 commemorating what is remarkably her 50th year of performing. Changes is the perfect way to start the celebrations.

If you had been waiting since 1963 for your finest bottle of claret to ferment, or even the best malt whisky, then to sample the results of your patience and nurturing would bring an exquisite treat. That is exactly what you are in store for when you purchase this glorious collection of music. This beautiful and talented singer has been cited as the best female vocalist to come out of Liverpool. This collection rests the case. Beryl Marsden has been making records since the age of 16 and is still performing today, as this CD verifies. The biography is in the CD booklet. The music speaks for itself, from I Know, through Everybody Loves A Lover to Break Away, these tracks ooze class and exhuberance. Then the magnificent I Could Feel The Whole World Turn Around on which she shares lead vocal with Rod Stewart demonstrates the maturity of her voice, way beyond her years. The track Hello Stranger, which she co-wrote was used in the film Another 9 1/2 Weeks. All in all, a superb body of work now available in one place. Have we heard the album of 2012 already? This will take some beating. Give yourself a treat and get this.

I love this CD! I was a regular at the clubs in Liverpool in the 1960s, and hearing Beryl Marsdens fantastic voice, really takes me back and I am young again! Thank you.

Forget about who's better - Beryl or Cilla ? They're both from the North and the similarity ends there. Read more
