That was the beginning of that light bulb’s career, which came to an abrupt end when it stupidly tangled with Edward Woodward in the early seventies.

Around this time, Gerry Marsden confronted Brian Epstein and said he was devoting too much time to the Beatles and not enough to the Pacemakers. They were probably selling equal amounts of records, were immensely popular and hardworking, and he felt fully justified. It was night time. Epstein walked over to the window. “Gerry, look at the sky” he said. “The Beatles are like the moon, the sun, and all of the stars in the sky.” Marsden nodded, wondering where this was going. Then Epstein pointed at a bare lightbulb dangling above their heads. “And that’s you” he said.

So very chipper, it’s surely an improvement on their first hit. The compressed Nashville piano slip-notes are an almost jazzy cherry on the top.

I’d be inclined to give this a higher mark; energetic, fairly innocent and a nice little link between vaudeville and power pop.
