Liverpool Express - Additional Information

Additional Information

• TV presenter and singer, Keith Chegwin, recorded a version of the song, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in 1977. It was issued as a single and was a hit record in South America. Kinsley and Scott Craig later went on to co-write and produce Chegwin's next single, "Destiny". Chegwin was a friend and fan of the band, having met them on Swap Shop and It's A Knockout.
• Three of their songs were featured in the films: It Lives Again; and the Squeeze.
• During 1977, they played with the German musician, Stefan Hallberg, on his version of "So Here I Go Again" ("Das Kann Nur Mir Passiern"). It was issued as a single on Warner Bros. Records in Germany. They also played on the single's B-side, "Der Fighter" (written by Hallberg).
• In 1979, they changed their name from Liverpool Express to L.E.X.
• During the 1980s, Kinsley and Parry formed a side band with Brian Rawlings (drums), called 'The Cheats', which became popular on the pubs/clubs circuit in and around Merseyside.
• Kinsley played on the same bill as The Beatles many times at the Cavern Club in Liverpool during the early 1960s. He also worked with George Harrison at Apple Records in the late 1960s, whilst working as a session musician. During a recording session with Jackie Lomax, Paul McCartney joined them on his wedding night (after he married Linda McCartney), which lasted into the early hours of the next morning.
• The L.E.X. song, "Oh No", was born out of a jam session with McCartney. The jam session had included Kinsley and the drummer, Pete Clarke. It was seven years later when L.E.X. were thinking of songs to write, when Kinsley thought of the song, he knew Pete Clarke had remembered the chorus, and Kinsley wrote additional verses. They contacted McCartney to grant use of the chorus, and it ended up as a B-side to "So Here I Go Again" in August 1977.
