Its Gonna Be Alright/Why Oh Why/Fall In Love/Think About Love/I Love You Too/All Quiet On The Mersey Front/ This Thing Called Love/Baby You’re So Good To Me/I’ll Wait For You/She’s The Only Girl For Me/Is It Love/Ferry Cross The Mersey

Fading Merseybeat group Gerry & The Pacemakers starred and played the majority of tracks in the film Ferry Cross The Mersey, with a single track each from Cilla Black and The Fourmost. The title track was a top ten hit in both Britain and the States. (US:13 UK:19)

"This is the various artists soundtrack to Gerry and The Pacemaker's 1964 film about a musical group trying to make it big. It also featured Cilla Black in a cameo role, where she sang her song Is It Love. I'd buy it just for that alone. A well worth buy if you're a fan of the Mersey scene music."

"Gerry and the boys are adorable, the music is good."

"Lots of toe tappers throughout and, of course, there's that wonderful theme song."

"If you are into 60s music you will love the tunes in this film, not only Gerry's Ferry Cross The Mersey, but also The Fourmost and Cilla Black give good performances."

"Ferry Cross The Mersey features quality musical selections throughout and it's a joy to listen to."

"Ferry Cross The Mersey has been a favourite of mine since childhood. It is so beautiful, I never tire of it."

"They were fabulous during a fabulous time. They will forever be remembered as among the best ever."

"This sounds a bit uncomfortable with itself."
