MALCOLM CAMPBELL'S SHADOWS WEBSITE



THE VENTURES & THE SHADOWS:
WALK, DON'T RUN, APACHE AND BEYOND



This feature provides comprehensive comparative reviews of tracks recorded by both The Ventures and The Shadows. It is based on an article published in Pipeline 74 [2007] 11–28, with three additional entries extending the survey to 2008. Some further details on the numbers discussed can be found in DRIVING GUITARS: THE MUSIC OF THE VENTURES IN THE SIXTIES and in the earlier POCKET GUIDE TO SHADOW MUSIC. An introduction sets out the principles underlying this presentation. In an effort to avoid undue repetition in the main entries, CD reference images furnish illustrations of a number of CDs treated recurrently under the main entries and also provide a summary review of relevant tracks.

INTRODUCTION CD REFERENCE IMAGES

Tracks are listed in chronological order below; the initial release by each group is noted, with extended discussions presented in the main entries. The thumbnails on this page are purely for illustrative purposes as they do not necessarily correspond to the earliest incidences specified in the accompanying text. I would be delighted to hear any comments about this section: you can e-mail me at shads@malcolmcampbell.me.uk – thanks!
