Story & Background
The Rockin' Berries, purveyors of a smoother, more pop-oriented British beat, found themselves navigating the turbulent waters of the 1965 record market. Following the triumph of the single "He's in Town" in 1964, Piccadilly Records, a subsidiary of Pye, decided to capitalise on their momentum by releasing the eponymous album "In Town". Curiously, the title, almost a homage to their biggest hit, reflected the label's strategy to consolidate their "presence in town", or rather their relevance in the music scene. However, the band was perceived more as a singles act than an album act, and the LP, despite featuring their clean vocal harmonies and a well-executed mix of originals and covers, struggled to match the impact and sales of their 45s. This first pressing from 1965 testifies to a label's attempt to transform a successful chart group into an album seller, a transition not always easy in an era dominated by the Merseybeat giants.
