Shadows – Jasmine EP Collection

Description

These classic SHADOWS’ sides are drawn from EPs issued in the UK, France and South Africa between 1959 and 62. We steer clear of their most well-known hits in favour of more modest chart-riders, B-sides, album cuts, and a handful of dedicated EP sides, which include some genuine collectors’ rarities. The Shadows were the most successful artists on the official British EP charts, between their inauguration in March 1960 and their closure in December 1967. In total, they spent 894 weeks on the?chart, including 69 weeks at No. 1, while they registered 38 hit EPs, 8 of which went to No. 1. Their biggest?was “Shadows To The Fore”, which charted for 115 weeks. Rarities herein include the undubbed version of ‘Guitar Tango’ and ‘Some Are Lonely’, from a French EP, which differed from the UK version.
