1	Franco-American Swing (2004) more music like this by John Jorgenson John Jorgenson is one of those musical chameleons who amazes audiences (and likely fellow players) with his diverse talents and recordings in many wide-ranging styles. Jorgenson was recruited to play guitarist Django Reinhardt in the film Head in the Clouds and record a few tunes for the soundtrack. So the emphasis of this date is music inspired ... see all copies from $11.33! new only from $11.33!
2	Jukebox (2007) more music like this by Randy Bachman/Burton Cummings see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
3	The Final Tour (2004) more music like this by The Shadows see all copies from $10.47! new only from $10.47!
4	The Essential Chet Atkins [Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins Chet Atkins is more esteemed as a session musician and producer than as a solo artist, and critics have rightly noted that much of his immense catalog as a solo artist is unimpressive. It might thus be assumed that it would be difficult to pick a two-CD, 40-track career-spanning retrospective that would both represent much of his finest solo ... see all copies from $15.73! new only from $15.73!
5	50 Golden Greats (2003) more music like this by The Shadows see all copies from $8.36! new only from $8.36!
6	Shadows Are Go! (1996) more music like this by The Shadows The Shadows enjoyed 20 British hits between 1960 and 1965, and this is their first American compilation. So we probably don't even want to wonder what that says for the Great American Record-Buying Public, smug, snug, and secure behind their piles of Ventures vinyl and sorry surf compilations, blissfully oblivious that a mere ocean away, entire ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
7	20 Golden Greats (1977) more music like this by The Shadows Without a single misplaced footstep in sight, 20 Golden Greats soared effortlessly to the top of the U.K. chart, becoming the Shadows first album chart-topper since their sophomore album, back in 1962. It was a deserved triumph -- and, perhaps, a predictable one, even at the height of punk rock. A straightforward run through the Shadows' early- to ... see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
8	Very Best of the Shadows (2000) more music like this by The Shadows see all copies from $5.35! new only from $5.35!
9	30 All Time Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by The Shadows If The Shadows were England's answer to the Ventures, it's easy to why from this generous 31-track collection of their best work. Lead guitarist Hank Marvin was inspirational to countless aspiring British pickers, and his cleanly articulated lines and twangy leads earmark every note on here. But the Shadows were also one tightly knit little combo, ... see all copies from $12.67! new only from $12.67!
10	Complete Singles A's & B's 1959-1980: 21 Years at the Top (2004) more music like this by The Shadows The Shadows only really dominated British pop and rock music for about five years, from late 1958 through 1963, but they've held on to their audience for decades, partly owing to the consistency of their work, especially their singles. This 86-track collection, running 240 minutes, assembles the group's complete singles output from 21 of those ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
11 view cover	Original 60s Instrumentals Album (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Original 60s Instrumentals Album is a single-disc, 24-track overview of popular tunes from that era. Among the standout tracks are "Walk Don't Run" by the Ventures"," "Let There Be Drums" by Sandy Nelson, "Nut Rocker" from B. Bumble & the Stingers, "The James Bond Theme" by John Barry, and "Man of Mystery" from the Shadows. This EMI collection is ... see all copies from $5.36! new only from $5.36!
12 view cover	The Shadows' Greatest Hits (1963) more music like this by The Shadows A straightforward summary of the Shadows' first three years of habitual hit-making, opening with the pounding flurry of "Apache," then tracing through the next eight smash singles, with a handful of attendant B-sides (and one EP cut, the title track from The Boys) to round the package out. There is no denying the sheer brilliance of this early ... see all copies from $20.35!
13 view cover	Life Story: The Very Best of the Shadows (2004) more music like this by The Shadows This double-CD set looks generous enough (and it is) and sounds good enough (and it's better than good in the audio department), but it also has a major flaw that listeners should know about -- it does not have any of their classic -'60s or '70s sides. Rather, this CD is drawn from the Shadows' '80s output and beyond, when Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch ... see all copies from $26.42! new only from $26.42!
14 view cover	Early Years: 1959-1966 (2001) more music like this by The Shadows To be fair, this six-CD set is really for completists only, since the price tag is likely to put off anyone else. But if you've been hooked on the beautiful guitar work of Hank Marvin and the surprisingly muscularity of the band, delving deeper is a very good idea. Not only do you get all the big hits -- like "Apache," "F.B.I.," and "The Rise and ... see all copies from $101.40! new only from $101.40!
15 view cover	Lost Legends of Surf Guitar, Vol. 3 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Lost Legends of Surf Guitar, Vol. 3 is narrower in focus than the previous two volumes of the series, being devoted to 1962-1964 tracks produced by Richard Delvy (who played in a couple surf bands, the Challengers and the Bel-Airs, himself). It also acts as a document of much of the surf music being made in the early '60s on the Palos Verdes ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
16 view cover	Ska'd for Life (2000) more music like this by Skadows see all copies from $18.50! new only from $18.50!
17 view cover	Evening in Nivram: Music of Shadows (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Even as the overcrowded field of tribute albums go, this is a pretty goofy and arcane take on the concept. The Shadows were a popular band in Britain and much of the rest of the world, but never made a dent in the United States. Yet all of the 18 artists on this compilation, released three decades after the Shadows had passed their prime, are ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
18 view cover	Essential (2003) more music like this by The Shadows The Shadows, Cliff Richard's backing band, had a huge hit on their own with "Apache" in 1960, the first of many instrumental singles released by the band. Essentially just guitarists Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch with a rotating rhythm section, the Shadows had a clean, somewhat brittle sound that was less kinetic and angular than the American surf ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $11.53!
