G'day All,
Can anyone tell me if The Shadows covered The Spotnicks, Johnny Guitar?
If so where do I get a version of it. I am thinking that they did not.
Cheers

They certainly didn't record it, may be they played it live sometime ?

The Shadows did not record the splendid "Johnny Guitar", nor did they ever play it live. There was one famous occasion when they 'jammed' with the Spotnicks at a private party in the early 1960s - who knows what they played then!

Bests...Rob :D

Thanks for that fellas. :D I didn't think they did. It's a shame. It would have been a great number for them to do.
Cheers
