THE LIVERBIRDS
More Of The Liverbirds
\ GERMANY - STAR-CLUB - 1SB 021 STY
RARE ...sought after ...Original 1966 first pressing on the highly collected $$$ Star-Club label ...the SECOND LP, a thriller, by the tough LIVERBIRDS who could play like the mid '60s ANIMALS or PRETTY THINGS...including coming up with memorable catchy melodies infused in their raw attack....
A large part of the band's charm lay in their 'mean girl' image and their raw, live sounding performances
John Lennon advised them to give up: girls with guitars would never work out. The competition from male groups on Merseyside was immense, but the Liverbirds set out to prove Lennon wrong, although they had to pack up their instruments and head for the Beatles' old stomping ground of Hamburg to do it. The LIVERBIRDS became the UK's top all-girl band of the 1960s, delivering a great style of teenage enthusiasm laced in their rave-up rock tunes that often featured infectious melodies with garage quality to their records that was often lacking in those of their UK contemporaries, rather more similar to the Animals & Pretty Things.Although the beat group the Liver Birds had limited success in the 1960s, they can beseen, with hindsight, as culturally significant. The beat groups, like the rock'n'roll artists before them, were male dominated and the Liver Birds were, in all probability, the first all-singing, all-playing female rock band. There may have been some little-known bands before them, but the Liver Birds were the first to take it seriously. They ignored John Lennon's gibe in the Cavern, "Girls with guitars? That'll never work".
Most of the girls following the Liverpool bands were content to encourage their favourite singers, often by screaming at them in the close confines of the Cavern. However, Valerie Gell, Irene Green, Sylvia Saunders and the sisters Mary and Sheila McGlory wanted to play the music for themselves. In 1963 they formed the Liver Birds, named after the city's heraldic symbol. The rock manager Henry Henroid was looking for Liverpool bands for the Star-Club in Hamburg and thought an all-girl band was perfect.Although they were from Liverpool, as photographs suggest (at a quick glance they could almost be mistaken for the Pretty Things or the Stones) musically the Liverbirds had more in common with the R&B-influenced bands of the South East than your typical Merseybeat group. So overwhelming was the competition from their local male counterparts that the group found gigs difficult to come by until Manfred Weissleder entered the picture. Weissleder owned the Star-Club in Hamburg, the Beatles' old stomping ground, and was always on the lookout for new talent. The Liverbirds had a lot to prove – not least their newly acquired nickname die Weiblichen Beatles (the Female Beatles) – but after a shaky start they soon settled in, cranking up the volume and winning over the tough Star-Club crowd with their repertoire of mainly Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry numbers. The club’s audience was known for its contingent of female groupies, but even they grew to accept and admire the group. Duly impressed, Weissleder offered them a recording contract on his Star-Club label. The girls ended up moving to Hamburg permanently. What the Liverbirds might have lacked in musical expertise, they more than made up for with youthful dynamism, knocking out the songbooks of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry in particular with a compelling punkish naivety often found wanting in the recordings of the their male contemporaries. As their celebrity grew, the Liverbirds toured all over Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, sharing a bill with their hero Chuck Berry in Berlin. Usually their sets would include several of his songs, but they were told not to play them that night. Ignoring the instruction, the group launched into ‘Roll Over Beethoven’, prompting Berry’s manager to rush the stage demanding that they stop. They carried on playing regardless.. (side 1)
