LES WOOSEY & MALCOLM CAMPBELL:
THE SHADOWS ON RADIO LUXEMBOURG



QUATERMASSTER’S STORES
(Trad.)

A version of this has been preserved with Cliff introduction ("Last week The Shads played APACHE, this week [viz., for the last show of the first series, 25 September 1960, see APACHE] they want to play the other side……") and without. We do not know whether this was the first airing for RL: BBC Radio was treated to three performances in rapid succession, 9 July, 6 August and 24 August. The RL recording is exceedingly recessed and murky but transparent enough to reveal a number of performance differences, the melody line of the old song being adhered to more closely, with a notably less adventurous (not to say rather untidy) solo break from Hank, so exhilarating a feature of the studio version.
