Shadows Workout CD 5+

Shadows Workout 5+

OK, here we are some five months later than originally planned but at last number 5 is now finished!

Once more I have included a mixture of easy and difficult titles ranging from "Banana Man" across to the more challenging "Thing-Me-Jig" and have again been joined by Alan Jones who plays bass not only on this track but on "Classical Gas", "The Third Man" and "Outdigo".

Alan's contribution has as before been just brilliant and it is a real privilege to have him playing bass on these titles.

Again I have included two non-Shadows tracks: "Saturday Night At The Duck Pond" - the Cougars famous hit from the sixties, and the Tony Meehan Band instrumental "Song Of Mexico" which was written by Jerry Lordan and contains many of his wonderful trademarks.

Sincere thanks once more go to Dave Prickett whose relentless attention to detail on the keyboard parts and excellent playing is as usual invaluable.

Also thanks go to John Woodward for his assistance in the cover photographs (he plays the crash cymbal at the end of "Classical Gas") and Tim Richmond for some additional percussion in "Imagine/Woman".

Finally, thanks go to Eric Kingdon who runs the Shadows Guitar Club in Warwick for his contribution in singing the Goons-style vocal part in "Chelsea Boot" - something he hopes eventually to forget! I must also thank my wife Joy and next door neighbours Jenny and Derek for providing the hand claps on this track and for showing extreme patience and understanding whilst I am recording.

All in all I have immensely enjoyed recording this CD and I would be delighted if it should provide at least some of the pleasure to you as it has for me in the making.

Thanks for your support.
