The Barron knights took the mick out of them and the stones .
On call up the groups and pop go the workers.and merry gentle pops a band than hank and i like loads

Early publicity pix showed the Beatles all dress up in best bib and tucker looking spiffing and
all Carnaby St. Suit attired in Nehru jackets - that's collarless.
Formal attire, more lounge suited, than Bow tie and tails, really for onstage performances
and on TV was dress for the period, on both sides of the Atlantic, but not for long.
The Shadows though retained their suited style right up until the band disbanded in 1968.
Lapsing into casual attire for their appearances in Cliff Richard movies, but still well turned out.
Even their satanic majesties, The Rolling Stones, were captured on film all similarly attired in
black leather waistkits and white roll neck skivies and the images to be latter reproduced in
fan magazines to cause young maids to swoon.
This was the haute couture of the period.
And it looked so darn fine.

Indeed... uniforms for platforms!

Come November a 60th Anniversary two CD set will be released bearing the Decca tag.
If the pix I've seen have been successfully copied across from there to here then all will now be revealed.
I had hoped to include the track listings, but as it happens, success has been limited to just the cover.
The track lists will be accessible elsewhere om the WWW.
So something is being done to recognise the sixty years since the release of Apache by The Shadows.
But to the dedicated followers of the band, the story begins in Newcastle four years earlier. But in any event,
I'm sure we all here have ower own special memory of the first time we were to hear Apache.
The upcoming 60th two CD commemorative release, while significant because of its reason for being,
seems in my view to be otherwise just another compilation, Aparently, the tracks were chosen
for incclusion on the CD set by, the band members themselves so right off I like that.

That looks like it's all Polydor stuff doesn't it, so it won't even be the original Apache? Seems a bit of a shame, but no real surprise.

Yes, almost inevitably the repertoire of 60 years, but not the recordings, as Polydor and Decca are both imprints of Universal Music.
