Shadows Workout CD18+

Many thanks for purchasing my latest workout.

In the same format as previously I have concentrated on a more varied selection of material which I believe should appeal to "Shads" players.

I was recently reminded of some of the late John Barry's many instrumentals and in particular his version of "The Magnificent Seven" theme - as a result I had to record a backing track for this and have included two separate mixes with and without the second guitar part.

From the Ventures back catalogue I have provided backing tracks for "Perfidia" and "Theme from a Summer Place".

From the more rare but I believe interesting instrumentals I have recorded backing tracks for the Fentones version of "The Breeze and I" and the British "Eagles" version of "Stranger on the Shore".

In this category I have included a backing track for The Shadows version of "You've Got To Have Heart" - as far as I am aware no studio recordings were ever made of this and I took this arrangement from a recording of a live TV performance made by The Shadows in the '60s.

On the mainstream Shadows side I have recorded backing tracks for "Hey Jude", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "March to Drina" on this particular track I have included mixes with and without the second guitar part.

Again, many thanks to Dave Prickett for his unending keyboard skills and unswerving attention to detail.

Well I suppose I had better go and plan the next CD - any suggestions are more than welcome.

Ian
