The Jukebox Rebel

An entertaining set from the Liverpudlian quartet, now firmly entrenched in the new beat-group genre, with clear Rock n Roll sensibilities, and occasional past-references to their skiffle roots. They were: Ray Ennis (vocals, lead guitar); Ralph Ellis (guitarist); Les Braid (bass); Norman Kuhlke (drummer). There’s some high quality 60s Pop on offer here, albeit that the strength mostly lies in the stronger first half with “Save the Last Dance for Me”, “That’s The Way It Goes” and “Around and Around” doing it best for me.
