Other information & picture:
No doubt the most influential instrumental rock band of all time, formed in 1958 as a backing band for Cliff Richard. Originally they were called The Drifters but became The Shadows in early 1959, featuring Hank Marvin as their new lead guitarist. And that's where the story begins... French EP from 1964. "Shazam" and "Dakota" on side A, "Shindig" and "It's Been a Blue Day" on side B.
