Shadows in top 40 album chart

[GoldenStreet]

I agree, you would have thought that From Hank, Bruce, Brian and John (which was a proper 'album' release, not a budget compilation - BTW) would have made the charts - but I think sales of Shadows records generally were on a downward spiral by then; they were increasingly becoming viewed as uncool and old-fashioned, even though they were still in their mid-20s.

Yes, this was 1967, the year of Strawberry Fields and Sgt. Pepper, effectively the beginning of the radical new direction popular music was taking.

It was also the last Shadows 'new' album to be issued in mono.

It seems The Shadows were quite anxious to get a new album out as Jigsaw had only been released 5 months earlier and they usually made one album a year, even though Jigsaw made number 8 FHBB&J failed to chart at all, my mum did say by then they were deemed as 'naff' by the teenagers.
