Yes and you had to buy them both to get all tracks: "Shadoogie" was only issued on "The Shadows Silver Album", while "The Modern Way" and "Liverpool Days" were only issued on "XXV".
I Started at the beginning of this thread thinking I hadn't played this for many years too. I searched for it and found I only had it on cassette, I played it through and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I was surprised some vocal tracks mentioned on other posts aren't on it. It has 25 tracks its called 'The Shadows Silver Album' it was a teledisc records issue in 1983. Has anyone any more information on this and why the vocals were not included.

Only if you were quick.
It was only good fortune that I got my double-LP. I was in Brent Cross on Saturday 25th September and saw it in Our Price. Until then, I didn't even know it had been released.
Obviously, I the recipient of one of the first 5,000 (because that is apparently how many copies of "Live At Abbey Road" were pressed on vinyl.
I'm not sure about cassette production though, but did manage to find a double-album (single) cassette a few years ago.

Back to XXV, I thought Queen of Hearts was one of the best things they ever recorded; great though the Dave Edmunds original was, I thought The Shadows' instrumental version was even better; but that's the genius of Hank Marvin for you!
