Albums Missing From My Collection

Hi,

I'm trying to find the following albums to complete my collection of Shadows vynil albums: -

Out Of The Shadows (Australia) (SCXO 3449)
The Shadows VIP (Belgium) (4C052-04502)
Rockin' With Curly Leads (Canada) (ST 6408)
The Shadows (Chile) (LDC 36396)
The Shadows Grandes Exitos (Chile) (LDC 36383)
The Fantastic Shadows (Greece) 33GSX 1003)
Lo Mejor De Lo Mejore (Mexico) (POP 642)
Grandes Hits (Mexico) (POP 371)
Perfidia With The Shadows (Mexico) (MUSART D 1044)

Does anyone have these they would be willing to sell?

I've been collecting since 1970 when I bought my first Shadows album (Walkin' With The Shadows) for 19/11 (old money) or 99p (new money). Since then I have trawled record fairs, record collector and Ebay slowly building up my collection. According to John Panteny's web site those albums above are the only vynil albums I am missing from the worldwide discography.
I don't collect CD's although I do have one of every UK release and a few foreign pressings. CD sleeves hold no appeal for me. The vynil albums came with colourful sleeves with accompaying notes in languages I didn't understand and they just had that special magic.

Thanks in anticipation

Regards

Paul

You must have a very large Shadows vinyl record collection then! :thumbup: Maybe you can help me with this question: I once read that the Argentinian issue of the album "Shades Of Rock" had all the tracks in mono. Do you have a copy of this issue and if so, is it true about the mono sound mix?

It is a fairly large collection!! I've enclosed a picture below. They are all Shadows Albums except for one small section which is all the solo stuff.
I do have that album and the tracks are in Mono. There was a thread about the album last year and I uploaded a scan of the sleeve.

I remember seeing an Argentine issue of "Shades Of Rock" in a Buenos Aires Galleria during our last visit in 2011. There were many bootlegs for sale so it's origin was dubious.

Hello Stephen,
Do you have a New Zealand pressing of 'Live at The Paris Olympia' ?
Cheers,
JB

Thank you Paul. I have checked last year's thread and discovered that I was actually the one who asked the very same question. :oops: Nevertheless, thank you for your answer!
