All songs written by Gerry Marsden unless otherwise indicated.
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".
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.
Soundtrack of the United Artists' film Ferry Cross The Mersey. Identical to the UK version.
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.
