The Sound Of The Shadows features more great tunes from Britain's premier instrumental group, let down again by a few dud vocal tracks. The Lost City, Santa Ana and The Windjammer would have made much better singles than those actually released by the group at this time. (UK:4)
"I think now that it was the last of the 'old style' Shadows albums. Their later albums tended to involve much more experimenting with different guitar sounds with more multi tracking and other recording gimmicks."
"Sound Of The Shadows has a light touch with effects. Double tracking is used mainly for harmony guitar and is used sparingly. Thus 90% or more of what you hear on this album is the actual sound of The Shadows."
"If you buy this album you can look forward to musicianship of the highest order, belying the fact that The Shadows were still young men in their twenties. Their timing is always immaculate and that in itself can give you a buzz."
"Wonderful music to listen to in a top down convertible with bright sunshine and the blue skies of Florida overhead. Their version of Brazil is haunting."
