I've been an early fan and Shadows enthusiast since the release of Apache in '59. Much latter on, I discovered there were earlier recordings from The Drifters, renamed The Shadows, that were raw and more in the spirit of Rock n Roll. The melody were pieces of joy, the rhythm guitar track was barely audible on most tracks, that may have been the result of warn needles and low fidelity speakers, yet the bass was surprisingly rich and powerful. Occasionally showcased in Tunes like Quartermasters Stores and 36-24-36, but always there when in the hands of Jet Harris., soon to become my favorite Shadow. Bass is ace. As a citizen in a foreign land, live performances were nonexistent to rare. Live music therefore was then a cherish treat.Over time everything changes and The Shadows line-up were not immune from this truism. The cover pic on The Shadows self titled first album still remains the first self defining four color image. I made myself a promise to have the cover framed to hang on my living room wall, but after sixty years since then, my own indolence
She certainly was, remember her so well. Was learning to play Drums when "Diamonds" was out. Tony meehan think he was the 1st Shadows drummer. The chap who replaced Jet Harris was electrocuted playing his bass if I remember correctly 1966 I think. ( John Rostill).
I always thought at the time But I've just looked back to her in her prime She was quirky pretty But drop dead gorgeous😮 NAH! I guess black and white suited her Major dissappointment
I had the privilege of a picture taken with Jet on their 50th anniversary with Billie on the same tour, which has pride of place on my music room wall. Lovely guy.
Really nice. I met Billie just the once, in early 1967 at the upstairs room of The Intrepid Fox pub in Warder Street. We were rehearsing Jet's new band in early 1967, and Billie was watching. I was well-pleased, because she seemed to like what she was hearing. Jet, quite a character back in those days.
Pete Gage Great stuff. We were hangin round the Ship bit further up on wardour st that year used to have a couple in the Intrepid Fox. Lot of lads from Liverpool around wardour st then Merseybeat groups. Followed the Beatles down. Awesome days

I knew Carol,she lived on my council estate.In fact on their wedding day The Shads were playing in Carol's parents front garden with Carol in her wedding dress.
This interviewer is the first person I have heard make a negative comment about Hank. He seemed like he was distracted and disinterested. A shame the woman was due proper respect.

Back in the day, She was drop dead gorgeous !

Jet was one of the great bassists and is less well known than he deserved. His bass playing was legendary.

I find the interviewer a bit rude, he seems to get distracted and not appear to be given his guests his full attention...spoils it a bit
Really liked her in POP GEAR(1964).
I would have loved to have met Jet ,just so interesting.....seems a lovely talented man...

Are you the same Pete Gage who wrote She's Lost You for the Zephyrs?
@@Selvikus no, that was the other Pete Gage, who was part of Geno’s Ram Jam Band and later on, in Vinegar Joe
@@petegage Ah alright sorry for the confusion
What a great love she has for him what a great Lady! Xxx

Worst interviewer rude and self absorbed, so up himself.
Billie.. Causante de mí Gran Secreto Sentimental,,, Por eso, La Adoro Forever.
