Length: Matrix No: 7 XCA 27 087 Composer B: Brian Bennett Length: Matrix No: 7 XCA 27 088 Location: Studio 02 at Abbey Road Studios, London Recording Date: Musicians: Hank Marvin (lg) Bruce Welch (rg) Brian Locking (bg) Brian Bennett (drms) from: A pocket Guide to Shadow Music - Malcolm Campbell Working title: “Blue Rubies”. A self-penned number and an altogether different style from their previous releases — beginning with Hank and Bruce crashing in on unison chords. Later the two of them doubled up on other passages too. A brash, full sound made this a fairly ‘heavy’ number (as far as The Shadows were concerned) at the time — yet, uncannily, that trademark control or poise is still there. The track (its title a slang name, American in origin, for a rip-roaring party, rather like our ‘knees-up’) pounded along and was indeed reminiscent of cowboy hoedowns and square dancing. On SHINDIG Melody Maker carried this report: “The tune was written in one of Bruce’s more rational days [viz., at the time of his nervous breakdown and paranoia about tuning his guitar] in Blackpool in 1963 and it was recorded there at the Jubilee Theatre on a mobile mixing desk” (February 26 [1977], feature entitled ‘In And Out Of The Shadows’). The flipside was also home-grown, being one of those peaceful, dreamy ballads, achingly beautiful and evoking a serene, nostalgic muse, which The Shadows were so adept at — indeed the first truly laid-back B-side since [46] PEACE PIPE back in November 1961. |
