Description

THIS EP IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM.
IT IS THE ONLY LIVE RECORDING OF THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP OF THE SHADOWS (HANK, BRUCE, JET & TONY) THAT WAS EVER RELEASED AND THE BEST SOUND QUALITY OF ANY RECORDING OF THEM LIVE.
THIS EP WAS RELEASED IN SOUTH AFRICA ONLY AS A SORT OF GIFT - THEY WERE PARTICULARLY POPULAR THERE AT THAT TIME.
WHAT MAKE THIS EP EVEN MORE PRECIOUS IS THAT IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE TAPES OF THE PERFORMANCE WERE SADLY DESTROYED IN A FIRE.
THESE ORIGINAL COPIES ARE NOW VERY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE, IT HAS BEEN BOOTLEGGED IN THE PAST DUE TO DEMAND.
ANY SHADOWS FAN SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS AND LET IT TAKE PRIDE OF PLACE IN THEIR COLLECTION.
THE TRACKLISTING IS AS FOLLOWS...
SHAZAM GUITAR BOOGIE (EARLY VERSION OF SHADOOGIE) SLEEPWALK FBI
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW EARLY THIS PERFORMANCE IS, ACCORDING TO BRUCE WELCH'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, FBI HAD ONLY JUST COME OUT... WOW...!!!
THE SLEEVE IS IN ONE PIECE, I WOULD GRADE AS G-VG (AS R/C GUIDE) SLIGHT DAMAGE TO TOP OF SLEEVE AS SEEN IN PIC, NO TEARS, THE LETTERS L E WRITTEN ON BACK OF SLEEVE ON FLAP (THIS IS LAMINATED SO MAY BE ABLE TO CLEAN OFF.
THE VINYL IS VG (AS R/C GUIDE) VARIOUS SLIGHT MARKS AND FAINT SCUFFS, VINYL STILL HAS NICE DEEP GLOSS, BUT BEST OF ALL, PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY. IN THE 1960'S, THEY REALLY KNEW HOW TO MAKE VINYL RECORDS, NICE DEEP GROOVES, MARKS JUST DON'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE SONIC PLEASURE UNLIKE RECORDS PRESSED YEARS LATER ON PAPER THIN VINYL.
