...pre-order... done!

Radio Luxembourg recordings, do you think?

All out of copyright, probably.

Who are "Smith & Co" record company?
"Teenage Love / Jean Dorothy" (Seberg perhaps?) was The Chesternuts, not the Shadows.
When are the LIVE recordings from - what Show?
A lot of tracks for not a lot of money - ideal for The Completist but is there really anything new in there??
cheers

Anyone can issue recordings that have been "out there" for 50 years.

You or I could release Apache by The Shadows tomorrow if we could be bothered.

You too can find out the answer, for about £8.50.

Smith & Co have released a few instro compilations in the last year or so.

Could SotS be from Paris Olympia '62 as it will feature Licorice on harmonica?

Very possibly. A high-quality recording is reputed to exist.

I really, really want this CD but i'm skint at the moment so i'll wait till it's been released.
Seems to be a lot of interesting stuff on there. I've never heard Jean Dorothy or Teenage Love before.
