Liverpool Express was,
and is once again, the band led by former Merseybeats singer Billy
Kinsley and keyboard maestro Roger Scott Craig. Once upon a time in
the seventies Liverpool Express, or LEX as they were sometimes known,
scored with ãYou Are My Love,ä a song that none other than Sir Paul
McCartney endears as one of his all time favourites. With major record
sales all over the planet (except the US), and three #1âs in South
America, the group garnered a massive following - and rave reviews -
before breaking up at the end of the decade.
Even though it is
twenty-five years since the group scored a major hit, and almost as
long since they have worked together, the sound they generate is like
a welcoming phone call from an old friend. From the tinkling intro of
the opening cut ãChinatownä to the final track (the humorous
self-parody ãThe Worst Band in the Worldä) it is obvious that this
band has lost none of its Pop sensibility or edge.
The songwriting
throughout Once Upon A Time is magnificent and Kinsleyâs voice is in
top form. Given a moment to drift you may even believe that youâve
discovered a long lost Harry Nilsson track in the soaring vocals of
the title song, or unearthed an Alan Parsons gem in ãThe End of the
Game.ä
With
a number of memorable numbers, Once Upon A Time is truly a remarkable
recording - especially considering this is 2003. Very few contemporary
recordings carry the quality of craft exuded in tracks like the
tributes to their greatest success (ãSailing down to Rioä), their
greatest influences (ãJohn George Ringo & Paulä), or their own growing
up (ãOut of the Blueä).
