The ShadowMusic Web Community

Chris van Horssen and Peter Verweij have put together for the website an update to A Guide To The Shadows And Hank Marvin On CD taking us up to the end of 2012. It follows the format of the 2005 Guide, working in a few extra features including some consideration of bootleg and counterfeit releases, a component largely bypassed by Les Woosey and myself.

Whilst I agree that there is almost certainly no anti-Shadows bias at the BBC, there does seem to be a very pro-Beatles bias, which is evident when one looks at the number of times they'll show documentaries on the subjects of The Beatles, solo Beatles, spin-off groups and even documentaries based around Beatles songs! Having said that, I do recognise the fact that the Beatles were the biggest and most successful pop group of all time. They were not, however, the only one. Or the first.

The best piece of writing I have ever read on this phenomenon is this superlative piece which forms the introduction to the book 'A Pocket Guide to Shadow Music':
