I'm just wondering if Barry is contemplating a 4th release in view of the sad demise of Brian Locking - at the end of the day that will be 4 of our shadows. Anyone know about the possibility?

Now available and all pre-release orders being shipped out in the next few days......great set and includes some unreleased recordings. Still features Jet, Tony, Licorice, Brian B, Clem Cattini, Keith West, Albert Lee, Ben Marvin, Warren Bennett and that 'Man of Mystery' plus others. Forward by Bruce and sleeve notes by Rob Bradford. Forgot to mention this is a 3-CD set.

As I was involved with this project, I have just received a 'comp' copy from Cherry Red (I am sure that Leo's Den will be mailing these out now as I know that stock is arriving). A stunning package. Great artwork, crisp remastered sound in stunning quality. Several previously unissued / rare tracks. Superb playing by Barry Gibson, Phil Kelly, Alan Jones and Clem Cattini on the majority of tracks...plus..what a 'Guest List' of magnificent player!!!: Brian Bennett / Warren Bennett / Mo Foster / Cliff Hall / Jet Harris / Albert Lee / Brian Locking / Dzal Martin / Ben Marvin / Tony Meehan / Chris Rae and Keith West!!!! Even if you had the original series as they came out during c. 1996 - 2011...then you still need this magnificent collection. A very fitting tribute to the Shadows indeed. Essential listening. (Very much approved by Bruce - who kindly wrote the foreword).

Listening to my copy as I type this reply (arrived this morning from Leos Den)
. A seriously good package, with great tunes, superbly played by some great musicians. The accompanying booklet makes a nice read as well - nice job Rob
