Didn't start listening to it until 11.20 last night... so listened to it for an hour, 23 tracks, then called it a night. It sounded great to me, although it wasn't really until BB arrived on the scene that you could actually hear the bass drum. They sounded raw and fresh in most of these recordings and I'll admit that most of them were new to me; this was the Shadows before the rough edges got smoothed off. Never heard that version of 'Guitar Tango' before... a bit messy, I thought, and not as good as the released version.
All in all, a great album so far; a real eye-opener... or 'ear' opener! Twenty minutes and ten more tracks to listen to tonight.
