The Shadows 50 Golden Greats CD

The guitar-driven instrumental outfit the Shadows (formerly British popster Cliff Richards backing band) had lots of twangy hits, including "Apache," "Mustang," and "Geronimo." Those tunes, and 47 others, are included on this excellent anthology.

UK collection of all the greats from one of the world's foremost instrumental groups. Also known for their work with vocalist Cliff Richard, The Shadows remain the most influential instrumental combo in the history of British Rock 'N' Roll. Their early work inspired four lads from Liverpool named John, Paul, George and Ringo, who then took the world by storm, thus making The Shadows partially responsible for modern Rock as we know it! Released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their hit, 'Apache', this compilation features all their chart successes including their instrumental interpretations of 'Nights In White Satin', 'Whiter Shade Of Pale', 'Thunderbirds Theme' and 'God Only Knows'.
