To 1990:
There were six compilations during this period, all but the last (CD/LP) in LP format: |
#17 | 1982 | Space Hits | Holland |
#23 | 1983 | 20 Golden Greats Vol. 2 | New Zealand |
#33 | 1985 | More Rarities | New Zealand |
#34 | 1985 | Sounds Of Today [2LP] | Australia |
#47 | 1987 | The Shadows In The Eighties | Australia |
#48 | 1987 | Guitars In Love | Holland |
The 2LP Sounds Of Today scarcely counts: it is the UK The Shadows Silver Album (#19) with running-orders altered, see on #34. Of the rest, the three Australian issues blend EMI and Polydor material2; Polydor cover versions occupy two of these, but the More Rarities set has five group-composed B-sides, together with SHADOOGIE ’83. The two Dutch Albums again offer covers in the main, raising only three group-originals between them. 2 1991 to present, all CD. There are not many:
Chart covers + "self-covers" + THE THIRD MAN:
EMI and Polydor tracks together3:
1 On the evidence of the data
accumulated in this book, the three primary LPs most widely distributed
overseas were Change Of Address, Hits Right Up Your Street
and Moonlight Shadows; two were confined to the UK: Live At
Abbey Road [given away free with Life In The Jungle], and
The Silver Album [mail-order].
