[3] Musicians Billy Kinsley, Roger Scott Craig, Tony Coates, and Derek Cashin met during a game of football in Liverpool.
The song-writing partnership of Kinsley and Craig soon developed when they started getting together in a small rehearsal room at the Bluecoat Chambers in central Liverpool to write and arrange some of the band's early material.
The band's success continued when they were asked to support Rod Stewart on his tour of the UK and Europe in November to December 1976.
"[5] Following their successful tour of South America, Liverpool Express returned to the UK to perform some more shows and made further appearances on TV.
The album cover art featured the soon-to-be-famous model Jerry Hall, who later married Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones.
Drummer John Ryan continued playing on the live shows and his mate, guitarist Kenny Parry, replaced Tony Coates.
John Ryan joined 'The Swinging Blue Jeans' in 1980 and returned to Australia in 1983 to marry after meeting his future wife whilst on tour in 1983.
This led Craig to compile and release The Best of Liverpool Express, which featured a new song, a tribute to The Beatles titled "John George Ringo & Paul".
A reunion concert in Liverpool shortly followed, with Craig appearing on stage with current band members Kinsley, Parry, and Dave Goldberg.
