Dear Forum

A curious request here: following the death of my father, I've found among his effects this recording on cassette. Two young chaps are depicted on the sleeve - one with some kind of banjo, the other a guitar. The location seems to be Liverpool's Albert Dock (distinctive chimney of the Pump House); and I suspect that the tape was bought there in the earlyish '80s.
The tape reference number is RTS 1441 and the rest of the text on the sleeve is
Anglo American Music c Bernie Shorr
Gary & Mark - Waterloo Studio, Stockport

Tracks:
Side 1
1. Liverpool my Liverpool
2. Limey
3. Albert Dock
4. Shipmates
5. Windy City

Side 2
1. Liverpool Bound
2. England Expects
3. Liverpool Lady
4. The Buccaneer
5. Song of the Sea

None of the songs is credited to anyone - and I've not found them anywhere else, which makes me wonder whether the two performers wrote them.

Playing it again after all these years has left me feeling rather nostalgic - my father having been an old sea-dog and a Liverpudlian.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone has heard of these chaps, as there seems nothing on the net about either the performers of the songs.

Thanks!
