There are some errors here - compounded / repeated from earlier erroneous sources. I thoroughly researched the Shadows at the BBC archives nearly 15 years ago and the results were published in "Shadsfax" #37 - which is now long - out of print.
The Shadows (Drifters) did appear on Saturday Club on 20 - 06 - 59 backing Cliff. They didn't perform any tracks in their own right on that day. Nor did they perform "Driftin' " on the BBC in 1959. Likewise "3 - 30 Blues" and "Dooby Dooby Wah" were only ever performed on Radio Luxembourg. Here's the complete BBC Radio listing for 1959 and 1960.

14 / 3 / 59 - Saturday Club - "Jet Black"
5 / 9 /59 - Saturday Club - "Jet Black"
24 / 10 / 59 - Saturday Club - "Jet Black" / "Guitar Boogie"

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your detailed information. I notice that quite a few tracks were featured on multiple shows. Are they all different recordings or are they all or some the same?

Hello Ivo,
Every track was a unique brand new recording. It wasn't until 1966 - 67 that the BBC began to start re - using pre - recorded tracks in different programmes. I will work my way through 1961 soon.
