The one to get... 4 Oct 2006
By nicjaytee TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
For around two years from mid 1960 The Shadows delivered some brilliant and timeless music... coupled with, and followed by, a vast amount of distinctly MOR muzak. But, unlike the other incomplete or "do I really want to hear what happened next?" compilations out there this one's the only one that's got all the classics from that heady period: "Apache", "FBI", "Wonderful Land", "The Savage", "The Stranger", "Midnight", "36-24-36", and the breathtakingly beautiful, pure early 60's "Peace Pipe". Perfectly formed examples of a lost world of guitar driven excitement & atmosphere.

Format:Audio CD
When I was a very young girl, just 6 or 7 we had a reel to reel tape recorder. We had 2 Beatles, 1 Cliff Richard and 1 Shadows tape and for many years this was the only music I had to listen to and be influenced by. I loved the Shadows the best and to this day true guitar oriented music remains my first love whether hard rock or Johnny Cash. If guitar icons Peter Townend and Jeff Beck rate Shadows guitarist Hank Marvin as their influence and idol then hell who am I to argue?. All the real classic hits are here, both in mono as they would have sounded years ago on the juteboxes in the 60's and in sterio if you prefer. I much prefer mono.

Even after 40 plus years they sound as good as ever. The price blew me away it is a real bargain and anyone who has an appreciation for guitarists should own this CD. Apparently this recording release came about because the Shadows were filming The Young Ones with Cliff Richard and were unavailable for studio recording. Thank you unknown genious at EMI who came up with the idea of releasing a "best of" then, something that just wasn't really done back in the early 60's when these hits were dominating the charts and you had to really sell records to feature in the top 10.

There is real atmospheric and totally emotional music here that will never date or die. I urge anyone any age to invest in this purely instrumental compilation of perfection.

classic shadows ! 28 Dec 2007
Format:Audio CD
back in the 70s i bought "bert weedons guitar greats" then a neighbour
said "forget him,the shadows are much better !" he then put on an LP called
"shadows greatest hits" & i was blown away! a lot of greatest hits albums
have come out , but a lot of this is"raw mono"in hi-fidelity sound.
"wonderful land" & "apache" rumoured to have been wrtten on the top deck
of a bus on an old banjo by jerry lordan ! norrie paramors,"peace pipe"&
"the savage" a rhythm guitarists nightmare to keep up for two odd minutes! but bruce welch sails through it like he has a "bionic" arm !
hank marvin delivers every track with that "cleaness"from that salmon pink stratocaster,like me ,come on hands up who wanted to play like that?
i remember queing to buy a cheap "woolworths" electric guitar & being
shattered because it (or i ) sounded nothing like hank ! enjoy "the shads"

Don't bother with the stereo
The original mono recordings sound good but the crude efforts at stereo add nothing and I don't bother to play them. Read more

Must Have Sold A Zillion Copies By Now!
If there is a world parallel to this one where The Shadows did not exist, then the Top 40 Charts, even for NOW, would sound completely different. Read more
