    Maybe it's the best record on Discogs in of value vs cost. Sounds really great. Essential.

      Very good sounding pressing. And probably the best hits compilation of The Shadows.
      • Garry1963's avatar
        Garry1963
        If I rightly, EMI used the undubbed version of "Wonderful Land" on this release. I think someone in the record vaults realised their mistake too late as the CD had already been released.
