"Listen, - i have to make this quick!
Simply put,- if you're of an age where 'The Shadows' evoke happy memories of posing in front of the mirror, holding your cricket bat like it was a guitar and practicing that Shadow's signature step forward, step back routine that was the hallmark of their live (almost) appearances, while a scratchy 'parlaphone' 45rpm vinyl single blared out on some tinny dansette record player, - you're going to love this album.
Not every re-interpretation is an instant winner, but a majority are.
If you're at all like me, these instrumentals will be evocative enough to have you smiling, laughing and toe-tapping......and wondering where that 'Shadows Golden Greats' Album is hiding now anyway. Don't miss this one. (oh and put away the cricket bat, a tennis racket works better anyway)"
