Going Down To Liverpool
Album: All Over The Place
Year: 1984
According to the website Bangles Covers IV, The Waves (songwriter Kimberley Rew's band) originally recorded "Going Down To Liverpool" in 1983. It was an indie record which caught the ear of the Bangles. In 1984, the Bangles did a cover for their album, "All Over The Place." The Bangles version, which was a single, got airplay on the radio. Record execs at Capitol heard it and wanted to the band, which was Katrina and the Waves by then. The song was recorded again and put on their 1985 album, "Katrina and the Waves."
The Katrina and the Waves version reviewed here is the 1983 original recording, not the 1985 version.
Katrina Leskanich fights for to keep her individualism in the bold "Going Down To Liverpool."
Audacious guitars open the single, setting a rebellious tone. Katrina Leskanich snarls to her friend, who is looking for a job, that he's missing out on enjoying the beauty of England.
