"She Came From Liverpool! Merseyside Girl-Pop 1962-1968 which was recently released by Ace Records, is a welcome addition to their Beat Girls' series. It's a lovingly curated compilation that features twenty-five track that are mixture of familiar faces and new names with hits rubbing shoulders with hidden gems which are often overlooked by compilers. They're welcome additions to this compilation that celebrates and documents the golden age of the British Girl Pop.During the six year period that She Came From Liverpool! Merseyside Girl-Pop 1962-1968 covers Liverpool was one of the most famous musical cities in the world. This compilation takes the listener back to that time when A&R reps from London-based record labels made the journey to Liverpool during the Mersey Beat boom hoping to sign the next big girl group or beat girl. Some of those on the compilation enjoyed a successful career while others enjoyed a brief brush with fame. Others never enjoyed the success their talent deserved but later, were able to say that they were there when Liverpool was the musical capital of Britain".

"Legend has it, John Lennon told The Liverbirds that "girls don't play guitars". They gave him short shrift, of course, and with help from The Kinks' Ray Davies, went from Cavern to Star-Club, honing their set of raw R&B along the way. 1965's self-penned "Why Do You Hang Around Me" and 1966's cover of "Long Tall Shorty" capture their obvious talent, the first is acerbic and cutting; the second tough cookie rockin' ... Beat group staples executed enthusiatically by Sandy Edmonds, Cilla Black, Jeannie & The Big Guys et al add to the enjoyment".
