Description

THE MERSEY SOUND
LP

Very rare LP from 1964! I know times are hard but this one really doesn't come up very often - so don't miss it - it's an iconic bit of Merseybeat and the fabulous 60's!

There's no indication who's playing on the record but my research tells me it's 'The Renegades' a Birmingham (UK) group consisting of: Kim Brown -vocals, guitar / Denys Gibson -guitar / Ian Mallet - bass / Graham Johnson - drums.

Twelve Beatles-associated songs on this 46-year old LP. The Renegades were formed in Birmingham, England in the early 1960s. In the beginning the group's primary influence was The Shadows, but they were soon to change their style into straightforward rock'n'roll and rhythm'n'blues. Around 1963, besides hardening their music, they also embraced themselves a harder look, when they started wearing cavalry uniforms of the time of American civil war as their stage outfit.

The Renegades enjoyed success in Finland and appeared in the Finnish musical motion picture "Topralli" in 1966 and was directed by Yrjö Tähtelä, and they also accompanied the Finnish pop artists Danny and Ann-Christine on some of their recordings. At summer of 1966, after recording their fourth and the last Finnish LP, the guitarist Denys Gibson left the group, and he was replaced by Joe Dunnett. In 1967, The Renegades relocated to Italy in 1967, where they had their second hit tube. Later on, also Dunnett left the group to form his own group Rubber Duck, while the rest of The Renegades (with the new guitarist Mick Wembley) stuck together for some years until the final split-up (Dunnett however, used the group's name in 1976 on a German single which was credited to Joe Dunnett & The New Renegades). The drummer Graham Johnson settled in Italy and probably lives there today while the other members returned to England. Kim Brown came back to Finland in the 1990's, and eventually decided to stay here permanently. Ian Mallet sadly passed away in the 1990's.
