4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful noise, best appreciated at high volume, August 27, 2001

By 

Alistair Hepburn (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unearthed (Audio CD)

Jackie Lomax is a long-lost/never found gem. One of the best white R&B/soul voices to have come out of the sixties and seventies, he was unappreciated at the time and unheard of today and what a shame that is for lovers of great blues/soul/pop music. He started out as the lead vocalist and bass-player in the Undertakers, the rockingest, stompingest live act to come out of Liverpool (and that includes the Beatles). They were signed to Pye Records at the height of Merseybeat but were mismanaged and badly advised, especially in relation to which tracks would best represent them on singles: all those singles are here, and apart from JUST A LITTLE BIT, their only chart entry, every B-side is stronger than the A-sides foisted upon them by their record label. They failed to make any commercial impact and after a spell in America they split up. In addition to the eight sides issued as singles by Pye and both sides of their only US single, this CD contains an album's-worth of material recorded in 1965 but never released until UNEARTHED. British R&B, pop, prototype Freakbeat, whatever category the tracks might fall into, it's a beautiful noise and best appreciated at high volume. Wonderful stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars My uncle was the drummer!, April 8, 1999

By 

Dylan Pemberton - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unearthed (Audio CD)

Bugs Pemberton was the drummer in The Undertakers and also played with many other bands including Uriah Heap and Nikki Barclay.

The Undertakers epitomise the Merseybeats and in the opinion of a lot of people, were up there with The Beatles.

Buy this CD and open a whole new horizon for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Favourite Merseybeat Band, March 9, 2006

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Unearthed (Audio CD)

The Undertakers my favourite Merseybeat band. Mashed potato an all time favourite taken to new hights with the incredible voice of lead singer Jackie Lomax. Great sax playing too.I used to watch these guys play in The Cavern Club back in 63 they where so good.

Not all the tracks are classic but highly recommended for any Merseybeat fans
