Of tracks 1 to 10, the tracks "Stranger On The Shore" and "Do You Wanna Dance" were recorded between August the 28th and September the 15th, 1962, with Brian Locking in the line-up, while the other eight tracks ("Shazam", "Shadoogie", "The Frightened City", "Man Of Mystery", "Nivram", "Kon-Tiki", "Midnight" and "Apache") were recorded on December the 11th or 12th, 1961, with Jet Harris still in the line-up. This leaves me wondering where tracks 11 to 14 come from. I do not have a copy of the CD yet, so I haven't got a clue.
Fully correct! It is obviously Brian Locking on "Stranger On The Shore" and Jet Harris announces "Midnight". It is very unlikely that both perform at the same concert.
The tracks 12 "Jet Black" and 14 "Driftin'" are taken from Cliff's first album. Up to now I could not find out the origin of track 11 "Guitar Boogie" and track 13 "FBI".
BTW, I have emailed Fremeaux & Associes regarding these discrepancies and they have forwarded my mail to the producer of the 'Live In Paris' series. His reply:
"
Our information comes from the data provided by the radio station that recorded the concerts (tape boxes and other documents) . If there may be some elements of doubt, I am sorry about that. As far as we know, there are no other recordings of the Shadows concerts in Paris."For me the only conclusion is that the used tape for this CD is an edited version of both concerts from December 1961 and September 1962, which leaves the hope for complete tapes of the original concerts.
