The Big Beat Song Album contains many songs which have been featured by the cream of the pop talent of the year 1963.

The Fabulous BEATLES, about whom so much has been written and whose acceptance throughout the world has been the outstanding contribution to the pop scene.

There has also been a tremendous impact by GERRY with his PACEMAKERS. The bubbling personality of this little Liverpool lad with his world-wide grin and his tremendous sincerety has set the scene on his fabulous year with three No. 1 hits in a row of which this album contains two.

BILLY J. KRAMER exploded on the pop scene with a song by JOHN LENNON and PAUL McCARTNEY, "Do you Want To Know A Secret?" which hit the top of the Hit Parade. With his wonderful backing group, THE DAKOTAS, he went on to a further No. 1 success with "Bad To Me".

CILLA BLACK, Liverpool's First Lady of Song, who has already created a great impact with her first recording, "Love of the Loved".

TOMMY QUICKLY, a very young artist of great ability and charm.

Finally, THE FOURMOST -BRIAN O'HARA, BILLY HATTON, DAVE LOVEDAY and MIKE MILLWARD - who really ara the most! Great musicianship, sense of humour, intelligence, all adding up to a very talented quartet.

With great appreciation to all these wonderful artists and the great songs of JOHN LENNON and PAUL McCARTNEY, and MITCH MURRAY.
