1962 LP Review...

[Iain Purdon]

... a double-page photo feature of EMI's party for Cliff's 21st birthday:

Does anyone know whether there any photos from this event with both Tony and Brian in the same shot together?

[GoldenStreet]

Presumably, Tony had officially left the Shadows (or was just about to) by the time of Cliff's 21st birthday on 14th October 1961, although he appears in the publicity celebration pictures.

Certainly, any photographs, if they exist, of Tony and Brian together during that period would be interesting to see.

It's SFOF 1002 from Columbia France, there mustn't have been many of them as stereo disc were still rare at this time, it was one of my first stereo disc, and the first one by The Shadows.

I still have the LP (french 10" stereo release without vocal tunes)...

This is the rarer issue of the two, although the mono version is quite rare too. I have recently acquired a very nice mint copy of the mono issue, but really would like to have a copy of the stereo issue as well.

Mine is not for sale !

I was afraid of that.

...I should have imagine it much more expensive considering the supposed rarity...!
