' This follow-up to our recent "Love Hit Me! Decca Beat
Girls" and "Scratch My Back! Pye Beat Girls" releases
comprises superior 60s she-pop from the EMI group of
record labels - Parlophone, Columbia and HMV -
headquartered in Marylebone in the heart of London's
West End.
The collection is available in 12-track LP and 24-track CD
formats. The LP edition is pressed on 180g orange vinyl in
a heavy duty sleeve with comprehensive notes and rare
photos on the inner bag. The CD version comes with a
bumper booklet featuring expanded notes and extra
photos.
Most of the female acts signed by EMI were teenagers
completely tuned in to the current pop trends. Scottish duo
the McKinleys, R&B club habitu e Julie Driscoll (cover star
of the vinyl version), talent show winner Billie Davis (the
CD cover girl) and Midlands pub singer Beverley Jones
took original material from London's Tin Pan Alley and
American covers and gave them an abrasive, vigorous kick
that made for fabulous 45s. They may not have had quite
the polish of their US counterparts, but the rough'n'ready
sound of the Marylebone Beat Girl was precisely her
appeal.
Among the many highlights are 'Dancing Yet', a Dobie
Gray-style discotheque number by Liza & the Jet Set; 'Like
The Big Man Said' by Toni Daly, a cover of Italian star
Caterina Caselli's 'L'uomo D'oro' with edgy English lyrics
by Peter Callander; and Billie Davis' groovy gender-
switched update of Chuck Willis' R&B nugget 'Whatcha'
Gonna Do'.
Compilation and notes by Ace Records' in-house girl-pop
buffs Mick Patrick and Sheila Burgel.
