Shadows Workout 2008

Once again I have received loads of requests for backing tracks and this compilation hopefully addresses the most popular.

I have lost count of the number of times "High Noon" and "Farewell My Lovely" have been requested and am delighted to include them.

On the non-Shads side I have included two titles "China Doll" - a sixties hit for Bert Weedon - and a version of "Spanish Eyes" as recorded by the European Band "1961". I must confess that I had not heard the "1961" recording until recently but it is a fun title to play long with.

My thanks once more to Dave Prickett for his brilliant keyboard playing and faultless attention to detail - cheers Dave!

We really enjoyed recording this CD and I hope it brings as much pleasure to you as it has for us.
