The Shadows recordings with Mesa Boogie ?

Thanks Dave,I didnt think Hank would use compression as a tone shaper but I hear heaps of it on 80s stuff, songs like Life in the Jungle,How do I love thee for example and nearly everything on" Reflection". maybe its a mastering thing. Gary

I also hear compression all over the MW&F stuff.

Try playing the guitar fills for Lady of The Morning without a bit of compression!

Truth is if you can hear compression, it is being misused, it's not an effect.
That said, using a Vox AC30 Top Boost would always give a compressed sound when driven using the bass & treble controls.

On the overall track maybe, but not directly on the lead guitar. I don't want to bother Dick again tonight as he's out with his wife, but I'll get to know later when we are chatting next.

Is Dick still playing?

Yes he is, he and his wife Jacqui work as a musical double act, I believe The Rockettes.
