The Big Three - Cavern Stomp (1963-64/1994)

At the very beginning of the sixties, The Big Three was one of the main competitors of The Beatles in Liverpool. One of the founders of The Big Three, John Gustafson, is considered the second bassist from Liverpool after Paul McCartney. This trio, of course, also did not pass by the greedy tentacles of Brian Epstein. But despite such an influential management, The Big Three released only four singles "Some Other Guy" / "Let True Love Begin" in March 1963, "By The Way" / "Cavern Stomp" and "I'm With You" / "Peanut Butter" in June and October of the same year. The sigle "If You Ever Change Your Mind" / "You've Got To Keep Her Under Hand" came out in June 64th. Some of them even hit the Top 40. The band is actively touring the UK. Drummer Johnny Hutchinson helped The Beatles more than once at concerts (before Ringo Starr appeared in their ranks). In July 1964, the decca "At The Cavern" was released by Decca. That was the end of the short story of The Big Three. Gustafson moved to The Merseybeats. Johnny Hutchinson, who became the chief of the trio, changed the lineup several times, but the group still did not save.
