The ShadowMusic Web Community

Dear Forum Members

I'm pleased to say that the latest addition to my website comes from the pen of Chris Drake, whose feature "Shadows Of The Seventies" takes a searching look at a phase of the group's career that is often dealt with far too sketchily. There are some well-chosen pics to savour too.

Best wishes

Are you now to be known to be known as MC Website, innit?

What's the link Malcolm ?

Sorry Ecca (and others), was in a bit of a hurry. It's at the top of this page:

Funnily enough, when I was in London for the NFL game at the end of September, I heard a rap version of Apache.

Could that have been MC Website on the decks?

Interesting stuff.
Is there any particular reason why MWF wasn't gone into in detail ?

Basically I just wanted to confine the article to the Shadows and in particular the tracks contained in The Collection double CD. This was the 'hook' on which I decided to hang it. I was tempted simply to try and cover the whole of the 1970s but quickly realised that to do this would be a monumental task and would probably require more space than was reasonable!

Maybe next time...

Hope you like the article, or at least the pictures that go with it!!!!

Yes, it was an interesting read.

Thanks. I enjoyed writing it and once I had found the 'hook' it all came very naturally. Obviously by basing it around the contents of The Collection, many of my all-time favourite Shads tracks could not really be mentioned - Honourable Puff Puff, Spider Juice, Rose, Rose, Rockin' With Curly Leads, Gutbucket, Jumpin' Jack Input, for example. I'm also a HUGE fan of the MWF stuff - particularly Second Opinion - which is amongst the best material the lads ever recorded. In my opinion. Didn't really have much of an opportunity to mention that either. Oh well, maybe next time...
