History
1) Short-lived 1973 Merseybeat group from Liverpool
2) The local newspaper
1) Liverpool Echo were a Merseybeat / early power pop group from Liverpool formed in 1973 by Martin Briley and Brian Engel of Mandrake Paddle Steamer. The band released a self-titled album heavily influenced by the early Beatles sound on the Spark label in the same year. With a misleading cover and non-existent promotion by their label, the album went nowhere and the duo moved on to other projects soon after its release. It has since been reissued twice, first by Rev-Ola on CD in 2005 and later on vinyl by Sing Sing in 2013, and warmly received by fans of the genre.
2) The Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror North West & North Wales - a subsidiary company of Reach plc and is based in Old Hall Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is published Monday to Sunday, and is Liverpool's daily newspaper.
