Hi,

Does anyone have a spare copy of "Dance With The Shadows" (SCX 3511) with the following label design?

Best Wishes

Paul

Which LP do you mean? The label shown is from The Sound of The Shadows.

I'm not sure if there is such a thing, is there? That design is from the early 80s and I don't think Dance With...was available then (unlike "Sound of..." which was advertised on inner sleeve of 20 Golden Greats). From memory, the first LP, Sound of...and Jigsaw were the only 60s Shadows LPs still on catalogue in the early 1980s. Dance With... and Sound of... later came out on a double LP MfP set, but with an EMI MfP label...

It is "Dance With The Shadows" I am after. I don't have that pressing which was only available for a very short time with that design before being deleted in 1982 and replaced with the 2lp set of "Dance With/Sound Of"

I have shown the label for Sound of as that is the one I have.

"Shadow Music" also came with that design.

Regards

Paul

Ah, I understand now!

This is how it looks.
By the way, all LPs up to Shades Of Rock were released with this label design - except Out Of The Shadows and From Hank, Bruce, Brian and John and all in the 1980s.
Hope this helps.

Well...I didn't know that! I remember going to Stephen Siger's record shop in Edgware around 1982 and asking if I could order Jigsaw (as I couldn't find it in any s/h record shops at the time) and he looked in an EMI catalogue and said that The Shadows, Sound of The Shadows and Jigsaw were the only 60s LPs available. He said that the Hank Marvin LP had been available a few years earlier but had been deleted by then. I put an order in for Jigsaw and was most disappointed when I went to collect it and they'd sent Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd by mistake!! (The catalogue nos. were similar)

Did you keep it?

No...I snootily (as only a 17-year old can!) said I wanted The Shads, not The Pink Floyd. I acquired Piper... a few years later and marvelled at it after eating some magic mushrooms. BTW, my copy of Established '58 has that cream Columbia label. Incidentally - sticking with Jigsaw for a moment (and veering completely off-topic), I think their version of Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James is a rare case of an instrumental cover being better than the vocal original.

The centre label designs for Columbia/EMI in the UK is a minefield but with the help of Ulrich I've managed to see what is out there that we know of and obtain all but two variants of all UK album label designs. At least I think I have managed them all as no one is sure as to what is actually out there. I'm not talking about different fonts used on the labels but actual label variants.
For example The Shadows (SCX 3414) went through 9 designs whilst The Shadows Greatest Hits (SX 1522) went through 7 and SCX 1522 went through 3
