• Track Listing

Three CD set. Gerry And The Pacemakers were the first band to have their first three singles top the UK Singles Chart. This set features 98 tracks including all the hits. In their early days, Gerry And The Pacemakers were The Beatles' biggest rivals though they were soon eclipsed by the Fab Four. The recording of Lennon and McCartney's 'Hello Little Girl' here was intended to be their third single but not originally released. All songs from their American and Canadian albums are included, many of which weren't originally issued in the UK. Their entire, exciting concert recorded at the Oakland Auditorium, California on 24 October 1964 is presented in stereo, as well as the four mono mixes of tracks extracted for use on the 'Gerry In California' EP, and demonstrates why they were such a popular live act.
