Additional notes:
'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' is one of my favourite tracks by Gerry and The Pacemakers from 1964. My arrangement, although an instrumental, is my homage to this wonderful song. I have tried to stay as true as possible to 'the sound of the 60s' but added my 2024 electronic touch. My arrangement of 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' was recorded, mixed and mastered between 20 September and 20 November 2024. 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' debuted at #10 on the New Age Notes Radio Top 10 Chart for January 2025.
Reviews: "Brilliant! I imagine Gerry is looking down, applauding and smiling with approval.". John Holden, DJ at 2BACR (Sydney, Australia).
"It's a great song, and Jim's arrangement and recording capture and update its spirit beautifully.". Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano (USA).
