This is Malcolm's third invaluable reference work on The Shadows after A Guide To The Shadows And Hank Marvin On CD (1999) and The Shadows At EMI (2001) and it examines in depth material recorded for release on Polydor in the final phase of the group's career. Included in this volume are 200 b/w illustrations, with over 50 on-stage shots of the group in the Polydor era; there are cover pics of a wealth of CD and vinyl product, together with a complete set of picture sleeves of the numerous 80's singles covered by the group. Of course, there are reviews of CD issues; data relating to UK and overseas singles and albums; overview of cover versions and locations on vinyl and CD worldwide for every number, with data on composers, UK chart performance, album-sourced singles, first releases on CD, numbers performed on stage, vinyl and CD sources for cover versions and Shadows' personnel on Polydor recordings. It has the usual beautiful colour cover and will look stunning as part of your rock instrumental bookshelf. Needless to say, beautifully crafted and constructed and destined to be a big seller in Shads' circles.
