i have been looking at this site http://www.merseybeatnostalgia.co.uk/index.html as Griff jr. suggested and am loving the he ll out of it you gotta check this out.we gotta get the beatles on it too.but their older stuff with you know it pete.you gotta?????????i gotta quit with the gotta.you must check out the under takers.
all these groups played great music.i would also like to see a lonnie d. section.

i kinda feel like this is my forum,since i come here more than any of you.no not the whole forum just this fifth section.i must say this idea has charged my interest in making this happen.i will be back after a D E_MAIL..............

Heh, sorry about the long waits in between, but yeah, a lot of us skip over this section unfortunately. I don't. I simply forget about it.

That is a REALLY good site with loads of great downloadable Mersey tracks - some which are quite difficult to find! Well researched histories of many of the well known (and not so well known) groups of the Merseybeat era (check out The Big 3).

WELL worth a look.

Cheers PC

That site is sweet. I hardly know anything about those bands, but that just shows my ignorance.

PC has my vote as the tutor for this site. I need to do me some learning.

up you go

farons flamingos.............http://www.merseybeatnostalgia.co.uk/html/farons_flamingos.html
i believe  faron is in the pic with george and ringo in germany.the one in allan williams book.

What REALLY annoys me about all the different versions of "Do You Love Me" is the "push push" backing vocals - where the hell did that come from? The original Contours version is "work work" which ties in the next line "work it all baby". As far as I know only the Dave Clark 5 use the correct lyrics - by far the worst version is by Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, the best is by the Contours... in my humble opinion of course!

DO YOU LOVE ME (Berry Gordy)
You broke my heart
'Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back, to let you know
I can really shake 'em down
Do you love (I can really move)
Do you love (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love (do you love me)
Now that I can dance
Watch me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, work it all baby (work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy (work, work)
With a little bit of soul now (work)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance
Watch me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, shake it up, shake it (work, work)
Ah, shake 'em, shake 'em down (work, work)
Ah, little bit of soul now (work)
(work, work)
Ah, shake it, shake it (work, work)
Ah, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
Ah, don't get lazy (work)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Well now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me (Do you love me)
(Now, now, now)
(work, work)
Ah, I'm working hard baby (work, work)
Well, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
And don't you get lazy (work)
(work, work)
Ah, hey hey baby (work, work)
Well, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
And don't you get lazy (work)
