Singles


Albums

I'm the One

Canada
Capitol T-6070 (mono only)
Release date: May 1964

Side One

  1. How Do You Do It? [1:52] (Mitch Murray)
  2. A Shot of Rhythm & Blues [2:07] (Thompson)
  3. Jambalaya [2:35] (Williams)
  4. Here's Hoping [1:45] (Stephens - Reed)
  5. Pretend [2:25] (Douglas - Parman - Lavgre)
  6. I Like It [2:12] (Mitch Murray)
  7. Summertime [2:30] (Gershwin)

Side Two

  1. I'm The One [2:17]
  2. You'll Never Walk Alone [2:38] (Rogers - Hammerstein)
  3. The Wrong Yo Yo [2:18] (Trad. Arr. Marsden)
  4. You're The Reason [2:17] (Edwards - Henley - Imes - Fell)
  5. Chills [1:57] (Keller Goffin)
  6. Don't You Ever [1:50]
  7. Slow Down [2:27] (Williams)

The Canadian equivalent to How Do You Like It?, this LP extracted "Maybelline", "Where Have You Been" and "You Can't Fool Me", inserting "How Do You Do It?", "I'm The One" and "I Like It" in their place. All of these songs popped up on Don't Let The Sun... and Second Album in the US, though Sun adds "Away From You", "Maybelline", "Show Me That You Care" and the title track, while Second adds "It's All Right", "Where Have You Been", "You Can't Fool Me" and "It's Happened To Me".


Gerry's Second Album

Canada
Capitol T-6107 (mono only)
Release Date: February 1965(?)

Side One

  1. My Babe [2:25] (Dixon - Stone)
  2. Reelin' And Rockin' [2:25] (Berry)
  3. I Count The Tears [2:00] (Pomms - Shuman)
  4. Now I'm Alone [2:43]
  5. It'll Be Me [2:18] (Clement)
  6. Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On [3:06] (Williams - David)

Side Two

  1. Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying [2:35]
  2. Rip It Up [2:15] (Blackwell - Marascalco)
  3. You Win Again [3:02] (Hank Williams)
  4. You You You [2:00]
  5. I'll Be There [3:27] (Darin)
  6. Skinny Lizzie [3:30] (Zeffertt - Day)

For all practical purposes, this is identical in tracks (though not running order) to I'll Be There in the US. The Canadian release lacks "What'd I say", which was cut in favour of "Don't Let The Sun...", which had no previous LP release in Canada. Note that Capitol was sent a significantly different master of "I'll Be There", lacking the orchestral score present on virtually every other release of that track.

  5. I Love You Too [2:02] (Jacques - Ryan) The Fourmost
  6. All Is Quiet On The Mersey Front [2:07] (Martin) George Martin and Orchestra

Side Two

  1. This Thing Called Love [2:08]
  2. Baby You're So Good To Me [2:33]
  3. I'll Wait For You [2:09]
  4. She's The Only Girl For Me [2:30]
  5. Is It Love [2:55] (Willis) Cilla Black
  6. Ferry Cross The Mersey [2:20]

Soundtrack of the United Artists' film Ferry Cross The Mersey. Identical to the UK version.

Gerry and the Pacemakers Today

Canada
Capitol (S)T6181 (mono and stereo)
Release Date: 1966

Side One

  1. On a wonderful day like today [2:07]

  2. Guantanamera [2:50]
  3. Girl on a Swing [2:07]
  4. La La La [2:35]
  5. The Way You Look Tonight [2:04]

Perhaps the most sought-after Pacemaker LP from the 60s, this Capitol Canada album saw limited distribution and is now nearly impossible to find. This release equated to Girl on a Swing in the US, though "Tonight" and "On a Wonderful Day Like Today" are unique to ...Today, while it lacks "Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine", "Looking For My Life" and "Without You" from its American counterpart.

A live album, recorded circa 1980. A noticeable change, musically, from the earlier works, in part because Gerry is the only original Pacemaker on the record.
Has been re-released on CDs on numerous occasions, sometimes having extra tracks and/or a revised running order.
