5. Strangers In The Night
6. La La La

This was the only Laurie album to be released in true stereo. The album was not a good seller, and is significantly rarer than any of the band's other 1960s American LPs. Corresponding to the Canadian Today LP, this US release has three songs ("Looking For My Life", "Big Bright Green..." and "Without You") which did not appear on that album, but lacks "Tonight" and "On a Wonderful Day Like Today", which the Canadian LP uniquely released. Within a few months of these albums' release, the band split up and Gerry Marsden began working on a stage career.

Ferry Cross The Mersey

Side One

1. How Do You Do It [1:38] (Murray- Edmond)
2. Ferry Cross The Mersey [2:45]
3. It's Still Rock & Roll To Me [2:30] (Murray)
4. I'm The One [1:43]
5. Unchained Melody [3:36] (A. North - H. Zaret)

Side Two

1. Roll Over Beethoven [3:13] (Berry)
2. Imagine [2:30] (Lennon)
3. Running Man [3:55]
4. Just The Way You Are [4:14] (B. Joel)

A live album, recorded circa 1981. 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 containing two extra tracks.
