The Cavern 50th Anniversary Album

The Cavern Club in Liverpool is the cradle of British pop music. Impressively, 50 years after its foundation, it survives and thrives as a contemporary music venue. Through those five eventful decades

Apart form the Queen track (sorry Nowhere Man!), I think it's a very good compilation!!

And the first time since when(?) that a Beatle track has appeared on a collection.

It is not crap - I have bought it - I have played it - I have enjoyed it (apart from the aforementioned track).

These kind of sweeping statements with nothing to back them up really get on my nerves!

How can an album that includes the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Chuck Berry, The Hollies, The Kinks - the list goes on and on - ever be considered crap?!!!!!!!  ::)

It does have Cilla Black.

The idea was to showcase the world-famous artists who have played at The Cavern, and although you and I would certainly buy an album featuring the likes of the artists you mentioned, there have been countless other compilations albums of that kind that did not sell.

I honestly don't see how this album could ever be classed as crap - perhaps someone would care to explain.

And by the way, just saying something is "crap" is not a debate.

It looks pretty good to me. I guess some people just don't like compilations. Shame about the Queen track, but that's just personal, although it really stands out as something that doesn't fit. If you get my drift.

I know the earlier stuff that PC mentioned doesn't sell, but as a 3 CD set I think they could have given a little more space.

I concede it is an eclectic collection of tracks but when you play it (which I have done a lot!), it works!

Apart from the Queen track, my one other complaint would be that they have used the awful re-make version of Some Other Guy by The Big Three! Now that really IS crap! ALL the other tracks are the original versions so I have no idea why this version was used!

We definitely need a quality collection of "Mersey Beat" though with the proper versions, not the re-makes!
