It is a fact that The Shadows were as responsible for the 60's British beat boom as The Beatles.Between 1960-1962 [Pre Beatles] they influenced so many young British kids with their instrumental music that all over Britain 4 piece bands,Drums,Bass,Rhthym Guitar,Lead Guitar sprung up everywhere.So when The Beatles broke big in Britain in 1963 there were a mass of 4 peice bands who just had to add vocals.British pop was then ready to conquer the world.
30 classic filmed performances of the following numbers all of which are mega rare.Some even feature the even rarer Jet Harris solo's after he left The Shadows in 1962.
We don't pretend that quality is up to todays standards.A few numbers are somewhat fuzzy but all in all a fantastic very watchable DVD.
