This compilation album is part of "The Number One Project", a music based charity event in Liverpool, to mark its status as European Capital of Culture for 2008. The city delivered 56 number one singles for the UK charts. On this album 21 of these songs are covered by other Liverpudlian artists. The proceeds from this project will be distributed among local Charities.
An early report had Elvis covering Billy J. Kramer's 1964 hit "Little Children" instead of Don't Throw Your Love Away.
“I thought about doing Little Children by Billy J. Kramer, at one point, but I thought it might sound a bit creepy coming from a guy of my age.” — The Word magazine
