Synopsis
With the exception of the Beatles themselves, no other group dominated the early years of the British Invasion like Gerry & The Pacemakers. They were the first artists to have their first three singles top the British charts, and many of their songs are now beloved classics. Gerry & The Pacemakers: It’s Gonna Be All Right 1963 – 1965 features 15 complete songs filmed between 1963 to 1965 and is the group’s first official DVD release. Included are the classic “How Do You Do It”, “I Like It” and “I’m The One”, timeless masterpieces “Ferry Cross The Mersey” and “Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying” and the number one anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. In between the performances Gerry Marsden talks about the songs and tells the band’s history in a new interview filmed at the Cavern Club in Liverpool exclusively for the DVD. Also telling the story is Bill Harry, the founder of the original Mersey Beat newspaper in Liverpool that reported the birth of British rock as it was happening. The DVD bonus section includes a new solo rendition of “Ferry Cross The Mersey” filmed at the Cavern Club as well as a history of Liverpool’s Mersey Beat scene as told by Bill Harry. This DVD is one of the first four releases in the British Invasion series and is sold individually or as part of the British Invasion Boxset containing Herman’s Hermits: Listen People 1964 – 1969, Small Faces: All Or Nothing 1965 - 1968 and Dusty Springfield Once Upon A Time 1964 - 1969. Reelin’ In The Years Productions has created some of the best loved and critically praised DVD series on the market today including the Definitive Motown series (Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles), American Folk Blues Festival series and Jazz Icons series. Now, with Metropolis Studios’ Voyage label, they are proud to give the deluxe treatment to one of the greatest periods ever in music – the British Invasion. Each DVD features archival full-length television performances filmed back when the artists were in their prime and at the height of their careers. Interspersed between the performances, original band members talk about each song and recount special moments in the history of the group. In addition, each performance has been transferred from the original master tape and includes best-possible video and re-mastered audio. Each DVD also includes a 24-page booklet with insightful and informative essays by noted rock historians as well as previously unseen photos and memorabilia. Although far less famous than their Liverpudlian counterparts The Beatles, who emerged in the same era, Gerry and the Pacemakers still enjoyed a sizeable chunk of success with a string of number one singles in the UK. This release offers a treasure trove of live performance material from the fondly remembered band, recorded between 1963 and 1965, plus interviews with the members themselves.

WRITTEN FOR THE BOX SET CONTAINING ALL FOUR OF THE DVD'S IN THIS SERIES: This is the type of set that gives one hope for the future of music video documentaries. It's rare that I can say there's not much I would change about a collection of this type, but I'd be hard-pressed to find a problem with this collection. No corners were cut in making these DVD's as fantastic as they are... everything from being able to watch the musical performances either within the documentary or on their own to the good sound quality to the excellent booklets included in each. I can't recommend this set highly enough.

Bought this for my mum who loved The Beatles but also enjoyed the music by Jerry & The Pacemakers. Fantastic DVD featuring many songs by Jerry and the gang! It's nice to have an interview with Jerry running through the DVD coming in between each fully played song featured. The DVD is brilliantly edited and you get to learn what the music scene was like in the Sixties, learning a few interesting facts about the band along the way. Jerry is still performing today and still as fab and cheeky! I highly recommend this DVD :)
