referencing 20 Golden Greats (CD, Compilation, Reissue) CDP 7 46243 2

Nice, clean, untampered with sound. A fantastic collection, only marred by the usual fake stereo versions of F.B.I. and Wonderful Land, though F.B.I. is one of those tunes that has never really sounded bad in fake stereo.

referencing 20 Golden Greats (LP, Compilation, Stereo, Orange yellow labels) SCA.015

An aptly assembled compilation of immaculately produced & arranged instrumental guitar pop rock, beat music, surf rock, country & spaghetti western w/ occasional lounge brass & strings that retains a fresh, vibrant quality today from the hit machine that was The Shadows.
Joyful foot-tapping shimmering music

Maybe it's the best record on Discogs in of value vs cost. Sounds really great. Essential.

Very good sounding pressing. And probably the best hits compilation of The Shadows.

If I rightly, EMI used the undubbed version of "Wonderful Land" on this release. I think someone in the record vaults realised their mistake too late as the CD had already been released.

referencing The Shadows 20 Golden Greats Vol. II (Cassette, Compilation) 276-106.5825

I would imagine that, despite saying 'Vol 2' on the cover, this is the 2nd cassette of a 2 cassette set, as there are only 10 tracks on this cassette with a title '20 Golden Greats', so I do wonder if this should be listed on it's own without the other cassette. Anyone any thoughts please.

Hi, and chance of any scans, especial maybe label and rear cover as I assume they would be different to the usual release, thanks.
