1971 LP release to celebrate Liverpudlian words and music. Subjects: Arrival, Scouse dialect, religion. Feat. Arthur Mercer, Cardinal Heenan, Tommy Smith, Liverpool FC, John Peel, Frankie Vaughan, Harold Wilson M.P., Stan Kelly, Miss Susan Powell, Cilla Black, Roger McGough, and many, many more. Liner Notes: "This record is for all Merseyside. It is a song made of words and sounds and people. A song fashioned from the hammered plates of great ships. It is the richness of skills, the warmth of humour. Voices of great stars past and present. The roar of worship for the god Soccer. Tongues that combine to produce the almost indefinable quality of life and living that is Merseyside. This record can only be part of the Merseyside story. But I feel it had to be made. Wherever you are, in a corner of the 'Pool or ten thousand miles away, perhaps you will listen and you will see the Liver Bird looking proudly to the river."
