 SEASON REVIEW 1999/2000

The CD contains every goal from every game as commentated by Merseyside's Radio City 92.7's Alan Irwin, Steve Hothersall, Vinny O'Connor and former Everton favourite Graeme Sharp.  Local radio offers wonderfully biased commentary as well as often being very funny.  Each CD contains a comprehensive narrative to lend the finished piece some cohesion.

 THE BALLAD OF DIXIE DEAN

Brian Labone admitted that The Ballad of Dixie Dean filled him with emotion when he first heard it performed live by Markey. Dave Hickson idolised Dean and believes that every Evertonian should revel in this story of the greatest centre-forward of them all. Strangely, the song avoids mentioning Everton anywhere in the otherwise excellent lyrics...

The cassette includes two other Merseyside songs in the folk style:

• Yates's -- the story of a unique Liverpudlian watering hole.
• Sweet Liberty, winner of the John Lennon Song Writing Award, written for the millions who have emigrated from Merseyside -- in the hope of a better life?

Original Price: £3.99 from The Liverpool Echo and Daily Post

The version of Everton's timeless battle-cry , Royal; Blue Mersey, is just excellent.  An extra verse brings this song bang up to date.  And the source of those Lapland tones from The School of Science can now be revealed as none other than Osmo Räihälä, a talented musician from Finland, and obviously a dedicated  Evertonian.

ALL TOGETHER NOW

The tape and CD single contains two tracks, the second subtitled The DIY Mix: spot the difference... if you can.

This may no longer be available at the Everton Megastore.

EVERTON – THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE

The original songs on this obscure tape were written by John Bryan in 1991 and appear to have been featured in the musical, 99 Heyworth Street.  The first track has been updated for this funky enterprise:
 

1. School of Science '95 including Everton, Oh Everton.
2. The World Will Be Your Friend, sung by Johnny Kennedy

Despite its poor audio quality, the tape is well worth getting for the unique Everton lyrics of the first track.  However, the second track sounds like Les Miserables meets Hear My Song...

Retail Price: 50p from the Everton Megastore / Mail Order
