Customer Reviews

They culd have been bigger than The Beatles!
Back in Liverpool in the early 60s, only one band threatened to rival the Fab Four for sheer verve and energy onstage - and that was The Big Three. Driven by the almight drum sticks of one Johnny Hutchinson (who sat in with the Beatles for a week or so in 1962), the band were the loudest, most powerful band on the circuit. Having lost out on the Fabs, Decca snapped them up but never quite did the band justice, except perhaps on the classic At The Cavern EP. This wonderful new RPM CD combines the Big Three's entire Decca output with an obscure reunion album from 1973 for Polydor, featuring new versions of such Big Three classics as "Some Other Guy" and other rock'n'roll and R&B staples from their original live set. There's a definite sense here of what might have been rather than what actually was - but still, this is a vital cog in the wheel of the British Beat story. Bassist Johnny Gustafson famously went on to play with Roxy Music, The Pirates, Ian Gillan, etc.

Folk Routes
This an amazing set from The Big Three. It captures all their recordings expecially the five tracks Live at the Cavern. Brian Griffiths is my guitar teacher here in Canada and has many tales of the Liverpool scene. There are many reasons why they didn't make a run at it but the legacy is the first 15 tracks on this disc, these track outweight the regretable 'Resurrection'period of the group. These 1973 recording failed to capture what they had started in the early sixties and is marred by poor recording, and lack of energy or direction. These are still rare tracks and an important slice of Mersey history.

The Big Three - at The Cavern
This is an excellent CD featuring The Big Three-one of the best groups to come out of Liverpool,but a group that never reached its full potential.
The first part of this cd covers the 1960s period and was by far their best,the first five tracks live from the Cavern-magic!

The second part of the cd from the 70s was not the Big Three as I knew them and is rather "flat" and certainly misses the drumming and vocals of Johnny Hutchinson and Brian Griffiths guitar not very exciting,with Johnny Gustafsons singing poor.

But well worth buying for the original Big Three tracks which still sound raw and exciting.
