Gerry and The Pacemakers - How Do You Like It? (1963)

 "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and The Pacemakers

The Lads from Liverpool... there were many more than just those Fab Four.  One of the earliest "rivals" to The Beatles were fellow Liverpudlians Gerry and The Pacemakers who started out just as successfully in the UK.  Also managed by Brian Epstein, The Pacemakers debuted three straight singles at the top of the charts even despite rejecting a song offered them by up-and-coming songwriting team Lennon/McCartney.  They were amongst the first wave of British Invaders and followed in The Beatles's footsteps by debuting on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Gerry and The Pacemakers released their debut album How Do You Like It? in 1963 on Columbia Records.

Note:  Like The Beatles and other British artists of the era, The Pacemakers's records become similarly fragmented as they reach the other side of the Atlantic.  Those records are included in this whistle stop.
