Hi Chris, that's a very nice find! I have seen fragments of the "20 Golden Greats" advertisement, but never in its entirety. The "String Of Hits" one is completely new to me.

The cricket bat ad was inspired and did so much for them. Used a tennis racquet with 11's myself though.

Does anyone recall Hank being on a Radio 4 talk in morning programme just before his first solo tour? He and Ben played Eleanor Rigby at the end I think. There was a very clever poem read out by someone which parodied the cricket bat ad in a somewhat risque way - very, very funny. Anyone have a copy of that?

I have 3 copies of string of hits on vinyl but £ 60 would be extortionate, maybe if 2 members on here would like 2 free only pay postage please let me know, unfortunately for you but not for me I will be away for about 3cweeks on holiday
Best Regards

...and at the time it cost about £2-£2.50 to see them live. After 40 years of 'progress', a new CD costs £5-10 and you'd pay £60-£120+ to see an artist of the Shads' stature!

I remember being shocked by the price of admission to see The Carpenters at the Liverpool Empire in early 1974: £2.50 a head, which was the equivalent - then - of the price of about five gallons of petrol. Today, that would be about £31. I'd been brought up on 7s/6d (37.5p) tickets to see package shows at the Empire. And my ticket to see Cliff Richard and the Welch-less Shadows in 1969 had been about 12s/6d (62.5p).

What was the show like in 1969? Did it sound just like the concert from October 12th, 1969 in Tokyo?

And was this the tour when Hank was ill and missing at the Rainbow/Astoria show?
