This review refers to
20 Golden Greats.
Although it's now more than three decades since it was released, got to number 1 and sold one and a half million copies, 20 Golden Greats is still regarded as the definitive Shadows compilation album. Although not every track is in true stereo, don't let this deter you. They are all gems and even the running order, which may seem to be all over the place at first, makes perfect sense to the ears. In 1977 EVERYONE had this album - remember the award-winning TV commercial featuring the teenage lad miming to the record with a cricket bat? If you were one of them, buy it again today on CD. If you weren't, buy it now and discover what you have been missing.
