1963 The Shadows: Dance On

I can't help thinking that much of this later success enjoyed by The Shadows comes from the goodwill bleed over of Cliff's fans looking for the next best thing when their boy didn't have a single out. 'Dance On' is a lively enough instrumental, but it lacks all the memorability and inventiveness of 'Apache' or 'Wonderful Land' and their releases are starting to sound very samey; there's nothing here that Duane Eddy or The Ventures weren't doing just as well but with only a fraction of the success.
