Lead track is Billy Fury, Billy Fury a Joe Meek style tribute to the UK's greatest rocker that has been championed by DJ and rock historian Spencer Leigh (he wrote the Fury book & also mentions this song in his definitive book on The Cavern Club) on BBC Merseyside where Ralph has also performed this live. Yesterday And Today is a tribute to the DJs of 60s Pirate Radio who became prisoners of rock 'n' roll so that the UK airwaves could be free. Recorded in Liverpool, People That Love Forgot is a garage medley that pays tribute to Liverpool and the rock heroes of 60s Merseybeat.
