Various ‘Unearthed Liverpool Cult Classics VOL 3’ CD/DL-023
Released: July 2002, CD and Download
With the success of the previous two volumes in this series, The Viper Label decided it was time to release the final volume in the triolgy. This is yet another ‘storming collection of scouse nuggets’ from the seventies to the present day. Vol 3 begins with Liverpool’s first Punk band The Spitfire Boys with a song called ‘British Refugee’ from 1977 featuring future Frankie Goes to Hollywood member Paul Rutherford on vocals and ends with The Hokum Clones, one of Liverpool’s finest new bands around, covering a song that started it all in the mid 1950’s, Leadbelly’s ‘Rock Island Line’. This album also features a lost song by Shack called ‘Up’ thought to be destoryed in a fire in 1991, The ID, an early incarnation of OMD with the original version of ‘Electricity’, and ‘Hey Disco Joe’ by Wah! Heat ‘ live’ at the last night of Erics and many more gems. Once again this album reaffirms what a truely great musical city Liverpool is and will continue to be. These albums are the ultimate record of Liverpool underground music.
