From: Shadsfax Issue 23 (1999) 14 The Shadows
Apache / FBI / Kon-Tiki / The Savage / The Frightened City / Guitar Tango / Wonderful Land (stereo version) / Atlantis / The Lost City / The Rise And Fall Of Flingel Bunt / Chattanooga Choo-Choo / In The Mood / The Lonely Bull / Dakota / Don’t It Make You Feel Good / Zambesi / Temptation / Don’t Make My Baby Blue / A Little Bitty Tear / Brazil From a series called “Legendary Rock Stars”. Half early A-sides (from 1960–1965), half tracks from ‘Dance With The Shadows’ and ‘The Sound Of The Shadows’, a pretty familiar formula, but still great music. The problem here is with what is described as the “remastering”, which can mean many different things: in this case, as with certain other Polish Shads CDs, it means lots of vinyl dubs, noise and all. For those who regret throwing their record-players in the bin, Guitar Tango will be a real treat. MC |
