The Shadows / Out Of The Shadows

Shadows-style instrumental from early Yugo rock band, Zagreb-based Crveni Koralji (The Red Corals).

The Shadows - Kon Tiki
Hank Marvin of The Shadows meets his puppet self from Thunderbirds.

The Sounds, not to be confused with the Swedish retro New Wave band, were a Finnish rautalanka (instrumental rock and roll) group in the ’60s, heavily influenced by the style of Hank Marvin and the Shadows. Have a listen; it’s very groovy stuff.

The Shadows - Wonderful Land
The Shadows, one of my favorite rock and roll acts. They were originally the backing band for Cliff Richard, but I prefer the stuff they recorded on their own as an instrumental group. I think that “Billy Boy & the Britoons” in Sylvain Chomet’s incredible adaptation of The Illusionist are based largely on Cliff Richard & the Shadows, though it’s hardly a flattering portrayal!
