Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Imagine playing in your first professional football match and it being the F.A Cup Final, you score a Hat-Trick, clear the ball off the line saving a certain equaliser in the last minute and being told by the Manager that Barcelona have put in an offer for you. Or if that sounds too far-fetched, being elected to Parliament on the wave of popular opinion, keeping all your promises, being hailed a World-Statesperson and somehow being someone of such high moral value that you only take a salary in keeping with the lowest earners in your constituency; none of that possibly compares to playing your debut gig in the open air venue of St. Luke’s and being sensational. Surely the latter is the hardest to believe.
