Shadows acoustic tracks

[john wray]

Just been listening to "Maggies Samba: where Hank plays an acoustic guitar and it got me wondering how many Shadows tracks featured Hank on acoustic guitar. Has a list ever been compiled? I would love to know of other tracks.

Just off the top of my head:

Poem
Fly me to the Moon
My Grandfather's Clock (12 string)
Genie With the Light Brown Lamp (alternate 12 string version)
Alentejo
A Thing of Beauty
All Day
Autumn (12 String)
Chelsea Boot (12 string)
Thunderbirds Theme (12 string)
Gracie (But probably John Farrar on 12 string)
Some of the 4 Japanese tracks
Some of tracks from Finders Keepers
A Little Bitty Tear
500 Miles
Let it Be Me
Slaughter on 10th Avenue
Most of the Marvin, Welch & Farrar material
Hank's solo albums and, much more I suspect!

Some additional tracks, also off the top of my head:
- All My Sorrows
- The Bandit
- Spanish Music (from "Finder Keepers" indeed)
- The Lute Number (or was it played on an actual lute?)
- Me Oh My
- Little Princess (electric and acoustic)
- Bony Moronie
- Something (electric and acoustic)
- Get Back (electric and acoustic)
- Classical Gas
- If You Leave Me Now (electric and acoustic)
- Right Here Waiting (electric and acoustic)
- Omoide No Nagisa (Beach Of Memories)
- Look Back On Love (the intro only)

"Thunderbirds Theme" does not feature Hank on acoustic lead, or do you mean "Zero X Theme"? "Gracie" does feature acoustic guitar, but only for the rhythm parts, played by Bruce and maybe also John Farrar.

All Day (if you include the bouzouki)
All My Sorrows
Atlantis (live 1966 BBC version)
Autumn
The Bandit

Five Hundred Miles
Fly Me To The Moon (+ electric)
Genie With The Light Brown Lamp (acoustic Italian LP version)

Finders Keepers Medley (part only - comes under "M" in the database)
Music Makes My Day (live Paris 1975)

Never On Sunday (live TV 1966 - bouzoukis)
Oh Boy!
Omoide No Nagisa
Paperback Writer (part)
Poem
Putting On The Style
San Francisco
Slaughter On 10th Avenue
Something (part)

In addition, there is probably a substantial amount of acoustic guitar by Hank on the LPs produced whilst John Farrar was a member of the group.

The jury's out on The Day I Met Marie. Does Hank play guitar at all on the studio version?

I don't think I have that on CD (why bovver?), so it isn't in my database of audio-recordings.

I never realised there were so many tracks. I really appreciate your help. I'll have to put them all on my ipod so i can play them while I'm driving.
