Hank Marvin – HANK MARVIN***

Aquarius/Born Free/This Guy’s In Love With You/Tokyo Guitar/Chameleon/Lara’s Theme/The Big Country/Love & Occasional Rain/Georgia On My Mind/The Windmills Of Your Mind/Sacha/High Sierra

This debut solo album from The Shadows lead guitarist Hank Marvin is now largely forgotten. This LP provided the template for future Shadows albums - instrumental versions of well known hits. The best Shadows music is almost completely confined to their pre-1966 releases. (UK:14)

“I wouldn't be without it. This is Hank at his very best - superb selection of material from various sources (including his own compositions). Brilliant guitar work with a big and atmospheric backing that really works. Sacha tops the lot - and Hank was still playing it up to his final tour.”

“It is Hank at his best with some moody pieces like The Big Country and some new self written pieces. This is a must for any Hank fan.”
