THEME FROM THE BOYS VIDEO_by Gary Taylor

[Spike]

Hi Everyone

We originally matched it to the version on the CD The Shadows; the Early Years, but didn’t much like the slightly fizzy distortion on the lead and rather bright string backing so Paul Rossiter remixed it closer to the overall sound of the original vinyl EP release (and a similar lead sound on the undubbed version on the CD The Shadows at Abbey Road).
The slightly overdriven lead sound comes from the TVS3 being driven hard.

The video was collated by me using part of the movie from The Boys. I incorporated some pictures of people and items and used a few special effects from Photoshop.

If I hadn't known it was Gary, I wonder if I'd have thought I was listening to the original record? Spot on! And clever bits with the video.

Another super soundfile from the 'boys' across the ditch.
An impeccable performance by Gary and Spike's images were great.
Please keep these posts coming.
Cheers,
