The bulk of this recording (tracks 1-12) was the second one to be made by the amateur recording club of Plessey Communications (ATE) in 1964 at their studio just off Edge Lane in Liverpool, with Plessey employees as the engineers. Along with other peripherals, the studio consisted essentially of a mixing desk and a Ferrograph. Fred Crane was the main instigator of this session. Fred was an employee at Plessey and a member of their employee's audio club. He was also a Scout leader at Wellington Road Mission Church, Liverpool, where he had come into contact with the group. A number of onlookers can be heard singing in the background of some songs at this session. The date was Wednesday 16 December 1964, the day before the first booking at the Catacombs coffee bar in Manchester. The name of the group had recently been changed from the "Seekers" to the crossBeaTs. Tracks 13-15 are home recordings when doing parts in early 1965. Songs in green itlaics were NOT written by the group - which at this stage means most of them. An MP3 download is available for each song. The words of all the songs on this CD are available on this web site, and there is also a page of the chords used. |
