    Out of the Shadows
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2013*

Originally released in 1991, this expanded edition boasts considerable extra value - over 30 mono tracks available on CD for the first time as well as a number of stereo tracks previously only available in mono, such as FBI (whose stereo master tape was only rediscovered in 2008).Containing everything recorded by the group during 1959 - 1966, this means that all of the big hits are present and correct - Apache, Man of Mystery, FBI, Wonderful Land, Dance On, Foot Tapper, Atlantis, amongst many others.But the major joy of this release is coming across less well-known gems.  With 185 tracks across 6 CDs there's plenty to discover - some of their later recordings, such as A Place in the Sun and The Dreams I Dream were new to me and they are quality recordings which show the group in a slightly different light.The CD comes with a well-illustrated booklet which contains an extensive essay by John Tobler from the original release in 1991.  This is then followed by an addendum which lists the additions to the 2013 re-issue.  There are also full track credits, which list exactly where each track was sourced from - single, album, ep, etc.Retailing at around the £12.00 mark for 6 CDs, this is incredible value for money.  Housed in a jewel case, it isn't the most lavish looking product from the outside (and the front cover doesn't do it much favours, as it looks rather like a public domain title) but it's the content inside that's important, and The Shadows - The Early Years is a quality package containing everything recorded during the peak years of one the UK's most influential groups.

    Foot Tapper.
  

*by G***3 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2017*

This incredible collection of The Shadows peak period contains all 5 studio albums plus all the singles A/B sides and most importantly all the EPs. With a little effort you could if desired do what I did and arrange the collection into 5 albums each with the relevant non album tracks for your iPod. It is housed in a jewel case which appears sturdy enough and also includes a decent booklet. The cheap price makes it a must buy even for avid fans who already own other compilations. Personally I would pay a lot more if this music was re-issued in a super deluxe box which The Shadows deserve. A real foot tapper.

    Where's The Booklet?
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2017*

A cautionary word to anyone thinking of purchasing "The Shadows - The Early Years 1959-1966" to access the 36 page booklet alleged to be contained therein. It isn't! The blurb on the cd box proclaims,"The 36 page booklet contains the original sleeve notes and updated information covering the additional recordings. It also contains a full track listing with record information and release dates and colour photos of the group". It is also praised in at least one Review (by Archive Television Musings).Neither of the cd sets I bought from Amazon Marketplace have contained a booklet. I am sure that the sellers are not to blame as both products were factory sealed on arrival. Disappointing.
