Amsterdam’s second single Does This Train Stop on Merseyside? has now been put back to Monday 9 May due to production difficulties with the B-sides. It’s not a problem however and the May tour is now being used to promote the single.

The full band performance LIVE on Janice Long’s BBC Radio 2 show on Tuesday 26 April is still on.

The album was produced by Tony Kiley (ex-Blow Monkeys) and was recorded in west Wales and on Merseyside.

You can now pre-order the second official Amsterdam single, the already classic Does This Train Stop on Merseyside? in three separate formats.

CD1 has a destined-to-be-classic brand new Amsterdam song John and Paul, a wonderful lament to Liverpool’s most famous sons.

CD2 has the full, unedited version of Merseyside as well as beautiful new song The Strangest Girl. Band producer Tony Kiley says this new tune may well point the way for future Amsterdam recordings.

All the 7″ vinyl will be collectors items, individually signed by the band, and will have the full unedited version of the main song. The B-side will see the first ever release of the newly recorded lost Amsterdam gem God Bless Pete Wylie with Ian on lead vocals.

So get ordering everyone, from HMV or Townsend Records.

Also their have been two changes to the album tour in May. It looks likely that the guys will be playing the 12 Bar Club in Preston on Sunday 8 May and the Southampton show is now on Sunday 15, NOT Monday 14 as previously advertised.

The sensational live Amsterdam show will hit the road to play a short tour promoting the up-and-coming debut album in early May.

Apart from the already announced two big Beat Crazy records shows in Liverpool and London the boys will also be returning to Wolverhampton (after their crazy night supporting the Wonderstuff recently).

Then the gang hit Manchester for their first ever headline show in the ‘other’ great Northern city.

Providing the local council don’t object to the runaway juggernaut that is the live Amsterdam experience the boys then make a welcome return to Bristol.

The London show is now going to filmed by the award-winning company Digital Snaeaker for a live DVD that will be released commercially later on in the year.

The band finish up down on the south coast, one more other date may be added in the next few days.

The proposed afternoon show for under-18’s at the Liverpool Cavern club on May 7 will now NOT take place. Instead the boys are going to play two in-store shows the week of the single release in the Merseyside area and it will be FREE to everyone. Dates will be announced next week.

Sorry for anyone who has been inconvienienced by this. Of course the evening show that night of the 7 is full steam ahead. Support for the night comes from Ricky and The Prodigal Sons.

Anyone wishing to hear the next Amsterdam single should tune into the UK’s most popular radio programme on Saturday 8 April, where Jonthon Ross will be playing Does This Train Stop on Merseyside? on his famous BBC Radio 2 show that morning.

The boys will be performing live on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday April 26 on the Janice Long show. A full band will be performing three or four songs and chatting with Janice about the single and album.
