The Liverpool Five (featuring no Scousers) formed in 1963 as The Steve Laine Combo, playing many major cities in Europe and Asia before achieving their greatest success in the United States between 1965 and 1967, touring with, amongst others, the Beach Boys, the Kinks, and the Rolling Stones.They made three albums before disbanding in 1968. A 'Best of...' was released last year on Sundazed Records. Their stuff's top notch, they were a blatant Beatles rip-off, but good in their own right, with some great little tunes; some Merseypop, a few more Stones-like, or American garagey numbers. Well worth a listen.

Glad to find sites like this paying attention to this often overlooked band who were truly unique. No way were these guys a Beatles ripoff. Take time to check them out on You Tube's " Nuggets from the Liverpool Five (Parts 1 and 2)" and make up your own mind.Check out the comments there too.
