„SHADOZ‟ CANCELLED!! As many of you will already know, we have had “LOADS OF INSTRUMENTALS VOL. 18” to reluctantly cancel “Shadoz 2010”, due to commitments DANGER - RICK & THE FAIRLANES / SHADOW - THE of various kinds. Hopefully an alternative „concert‟ will DEL-LAGUNAS / REDONDO STRAND - SANDY NELSON be arranged for the Queen‟s Birthday weekend – more / JUNGLE BEAT - HAROLD & BOB / SUPERSUDS - later. This issue features a photo montage of the WASHRAG / THE SNEAK - GEORGE YOUNG & THE ROCKIN‟ BOCS / BUFFALO TWISTER - HOOTEN Cliff/Shadows tour, an in-depth review of the Jeff Beck HOLLER / THE BROKEN HIP - THE MOODS / DIXIE gig and new CD, and lots, lots more!

I am often amazed at I don‟t have a copy of this yet, but this features just how many great instrumentals saw the light of day, ex Midnight Oil members Rob Hirst, Martin Rotsey and particularly in the early 60‟s, only to sink without trace. Jim Moginie with an all-instrumental set. If there‟s Listen to some of these to see what I mean, I doubt if any anything approaching the iconic “Wedding Cake Island”, ever achieved the Top 100. Always a surprise or two… it‟ll be worth getting! OVERSEAS “SANDY NELSON AND THE SIN CITY TERMITES - NELSONIZED” SPINOUT (US) SPINCD037 BACKFIRE / MIDNIGHT CRUISE / PUNCH UP / CONCUSSION / STUMBLE HOME / LOCK IT IN / SENIOR BEAT / SURF TUNE / CANDLELIGHT DRUMS / MOODY Sandy‟s first album in what seems like decades sees him joined by the SCT – Eddie Angel, Billy Favata and Remi Gits on “a mix of psychobilly, surf, garage rock, rockabilly and just plain weird” A far cry from the likes of “Let There Be Drums”, but, as expected, some great drumming from Sandy along with some great guitar from Eddie. A great „comeback‟. VARIOUS ARTISTS That most prolific of groups – „Various Artists‟, have really excelled themselves recently. Most of the “THE BIRTH OF SURF VOLUME 2” material is now „out of copyright‟, so I guess it‟s „open ACE (UK/EU) CDCHD 1252 slather‟.
