I find things like this very interesting. Love this kind of trivia.
I will have to dig out some of the old recordings and have a listen.
Please keep them coming!

Listening to Bosa Roo on The Sound of The Shadows LP mid way through the middle break you can hear a buzzing sound briefly could Hank have touched a string accidentally ,have a listen.

While you're at it, you may (just, may) hear the only example I know of John Rostill fumbling a note.

Good point, well made

Speaking of which: bass note E instead of A in "back home" at 0:36.

Sorry Alan...sorry Iain... but I've always felt that Hank's muted guitar and Brian's 'tattoo'-style drumming in Atlantis when the intro comes back in (about 1:25) are slightly out of time? Not sure if Brian's dragging a bit or Hank's playing a bit too fast...or perhaps it's my ears. Never seen it mentioned anywhere else...anyone else noticed it? Atlantis is possibly my favourite Shadows tune ever.

I have yet to notice this legendary, infamous 'mistake' in Man of Mystery. I must have listened to this ten thousand times, at least, and it still eludes me.

Just saying.

Cheers, Alan.

Safer than stretched out in the sun?

Best, Bill

It is towards the end at 01:47, immediately after Hank seems to slightly miss a note.
