Does anyone remember the faster version of "The Boys" being used in "Vision On" on BBC 1 in the 70's ?. I must admit that it was here that I first heard the track and I only knew what it was after I saved up and bought "The Shadows greatest hits" on tape in 1974.

In the mid-sixties, ITV used to play both sides of the LP "The Shadows' Greatest Hits" over the mid-week afternoon test-card.

Via Malcolm Campbell's "A Guide To The Shadows And Hank Marvin On CD" book update of 2005, I learned that the film features a different take of "Theme From 'The Boys'", so I will safely keep the VHS videotape!

It was definitely shown on British TV some time after August 2007.
