Hi all,
I hope this is okay for me to post here, since I'm new the forum, I'm not sure so my apologies in advance if this does not suit.
I am wondering if somebody on this board in the Shadows community could help me with my query.
I have just finished recording a new surf guitar instrumental single I wrote, performed and recorded as a tribute to The Shadows. The track is called, 'Sunset Cruise'. Both Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch have heard the track and endorse it.
Here are their endorsement statements:
"Sunset Cruise captures the spirit of the early Shadows sound for me. Hank starting a worldwide craze with the Strat and his echo box and trusty Vox AC 30 and me with my Gibson J 200 a perfect combination. Joe has achieved this sound on his record. Catchy melody, lovely lead sound and big rhythm guitars which I love!" - Bruce Welch OBE (The Shadows)
“The sound Joe has achieved on ‘Sunset Cruise’ takes me back to the early Shadows sound and Abbey Road Studio 2. It conjures up an image of Bruce sitting a few feet away from me playing his Gibson J 200, his sound the perfect complement to my echoing Strat, and Jet’s bass guitar and Tony’s drums driving the band. With ‘Sunset Cruise’ Joe has managed to encapsulate the essence of The Shadows early recordings, I LOVE IT!“ - Hank Marvin (The Shadows)
I am looking for a record label that is interested in releasing the track on all digital platforms plus as a 7"inch vinyl or on a CD as part of a possible album compilation of similar sounding instrumental music. Does anybody know or have any connection with labels that deal with Shadows type instrumental music or know someone who could help me with my query?
Much appreciated, Joe
