I've now got all four CD's and what a pleasure it is to listen to them.
Many of those appearances I watched live as they happened. Some great memories of what, for me, was the best period in their history. They were a very tight working band, working probably 35 weeks every year, and it certainly shows in the tightness that the MWBR line up shows
Tremendous

I agree. Interestingly, three of the four CDs entirely feature live recordings by the Rostill line-up, well apart from the two 1968 tracks where Brian Locking deputised for John Rostill. One of the highlights must surely be the twelve recordings from the Japanese TV performance from 1967. Very nice to hear a rare short live version of "Spring Is Nearly Here", as well as "Bombay Duck", "Don't Make My Baby Blue", "Little 'B'" and "In The Mood".
Also, I didn't know that The Shadows also performed "Running Out Of World" on UK TV. I thought they only performed it once in Yugoslavia.
