THE SHADOWS need no introduction: they are simply Britain's most successful instrumental combo who have scored more UK hits than any other act, if we also include their many sides backing Cliff Richard. Originally issued in 1970, SHADES OF ROCK was the Shads' response to the growing rock movement, featuring funky instrumental reworkings of classic rock and pop hits. SHADES OF ROCK has been long out-of-print. The album now adds a bonus track, the in-demand Mod anthem 'Scotch On The Socks' (an earlier B-side). SHADES OF ROCK has been a popular vote with Mod/retro DJs over the years courtesy of its dancefloor-friendly renditions of 'Proud Mary' (Creedence Clearwater Revival), 'Paperback Writer' (The Beatles) and 'Satisfaction' (The Rolling Stones).
