Back at the end of the 1980s (when cars had cassette players rather than CD players and instrumental music was hard to come by), I came across a number of cassettes by The Shadows in supermarket 'Sale' bins or sold off by the local public library.
Two were quite straightforward.
Dance with The Shadows combined the albums Dance With The Shadows with The Sound Of The Shadows (a double-play cassette with 26 tracks that followed the original LP listings). Steppin To The Shadows also followed the LP/CD listing.
Then there were three issued by Pickwick, The Shadows Collection, Dancing In The Dark and Diamonds . Each were 16 tracks and each contained a jumble of 1980s recordings with no particular 'theme' for each.
Any ideas who compiled these Pickwick cassettes? Since The Shadows presumably had a say in the order of listing for the original albums, would they have been consulted about these cassettes, or did Mr Pickwick simply pick tracks out of a hat?
