Well here we go again. This is number 9 and my list of potential tracks is, if anything, longer than last year!

Again I have responded as best as I can to requested material and have finally recorded backing tracks for the three popular '60s Japanese titles: "Kimi To Itsumademo", "Omoide No Nagisa" and "Gin Iro No Michi" - now there's a mouthful!

Also, I have tried to cover a few more of the other '60s titles with "Green Eyes", "The Drum Number" and "Ranka-Chank". I have once more attempted to cater for as many skill levels as possible.

In the non-Shads category I have provided 2 backing tracks for the "Crew Cats" version of the old favourite "Trambone" (one including a 2nd guitar for ease of playing) and have finally recorded the much-demanded "Lara's Theme" from Hank's first solo album.

For the players who want something more challenging there are two backing tracks for "Cat 'n' Mouse" (again, one with the second guitar part and one without). I have also recorded the Shads version of the "Grease" hit "You're The One That I Want", plus the Billy Joel composition "Just The Way you Are". Also included is the very melodic Jerry Goffin title "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You".

As usual my eternal thanks go to Dave Prickett for his brilliant keyboard skills and also my thanks to George Height from the Warwick Shadows Guitar Club for some additional percussion on "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For you".

Well, I'd better go and start the next CD now - that will be No. 10 - double figures!

Thanks again for your support
