Once Upon A Time is the fourth studio album by Liverpool Express, released digitally and on CD via their official website - www.liverpoolexpress.com.
This is the first studio album since 1979, and features Roger Scott Craig, Billy Kinsley, Dave Goldberg and Kenny Parry.
Eleven new songs are included, as well as a new version of "John George Ringo & Paul" - the band's creative tribute to The Beatles. The title song "Once Upon A Time" harkens back to the beautiful hit "Every Man Must Have A Dream". "Tomorrow is Another Day" is a song Paul McCartney will wish he had written. "Sailin' Down to Rio" is the band's ode to Rio de Janeiro, a city they fell in love with during their South American tour in the late 70s.
Ian Bairnson, the guitarist with The Alan Parsons Project and Pilot, makes a guest appearance, playing guitar on two tracks, "Once Upon a Time" and "Find My Way Back Home".
