There is a great idea in the tune from the late great, wonderful bassist, John Rostill, to play through a kind of cardboard box to get this sound ! If I remember well what was explained ... Superb ! Great thanks !
Sounds bloody awful. Really irritating, I thought my record was scratched when I played this on vinyl. Glad to know it isn't scratched but how can you think this sound is a 'great idea'. I like the Shadows don't get me wrong but that sound is just a horrible noise.
Did you know that this is a classic song, covered by many great artists? The Shadows exercised artistic licence to render a rock version in the mid/late 60s. It's one of my favourite instrumental songs.
