More the Beatles - the rest of Merseybeat followed suit. Part Little Richard, part US girl groups passim.

I like the harmonies on this, the way it is sung. I have no idea if that’s The Beatles or Merseybeat or what.

The question surely is whether the music itself is an anachronism.

Point noted - though I won’t change it on subsequent edits, as that’s how the sound is known now, and all post-facto listening is necessarily anachronistic.

During the heyday of the Mersey Sound, it was NEVER called Mersey Beat by the media. It was always referred to as ‘the Mersey Sound’ or ‘the Liverpool Sound.’ Mersey Beat was the newspaper and the name was copyright at the time and couldn’t be used without permission.
To call the music Merseybeat now is an anachronism.
