Product Information

Geoff, who performed at the Cavern in the 1960s as lead guitarist with The Zephyrs and Ray Malcolm and The Sunsets, adds: “Being a long-time fan it was thrilling to be involved with the CD. The tape I was given wasn’t very good quality. It was Billy sitting at home playing his guitar with a lady playing on a keyboard.

Colin Paul – who does several Billy Fury tribute shows each year, including one at the Adelphi in Liverpool – sings on the CD, which includes a short snippet of Billy rehearsing In Danger, a finished version (credited to Fury/Taggart) and two new Taggart/Newcombe songs: She Wrote and She Should Be Dancing With Me. Wycherley went to meet pop manager and impresario Larry Parnes at the Essoldo Theatre in Birkenhead, [7] hoping to interest one of Parnes' protégés, singer Marty Wilde, in some of the songs he had written. Instead, in an episode that has since become pop music legend, Parnes pushed young Wycherley up on stage right away. [5] He was such an immediate success that Parnes signed him, added him to his tour, and renamed him "Billy Fury". [8] However, his early sexual and provocative stage performances received censure, and he was forced to tone them down. [5] In October 1959, the UK music magazine, NME, commented that Fury's stage antics had been drawing much press criticism. [9]
