Synopsis

Album Description

A reissue for this complete collection of all the recordings that survive from 1962-64 made for Decca by former Shadows bassist Jet Harris and drummer Tony Meehan. Solo and duo hits followed their departure from the Shadows as the pair were for a time as lauded as their previous employers. Jet Harris in particular was a pin up and in 1962 for his first solo disc, 'Besame Mucho', Decca took out a full page ad on the front of the NME. A UK #1 came with 'Diamonds', plus 'Scarlett O'Hara' and 'Applejack', making Top Five for the duo, with 'Besame Mucho' and 'Theme From Man With The Golden Arm' making the Top 20 for Jet Harris solo. RPM. 2008.

CD Reviews

"The best sounding Jet"

D'ASTE FRANCO | Italy | 08/12/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This RPM CD sounds better than "The Best of Jet Harris & Tony Meehan", the remastering brought out a cleaner and clearer sound; 100% MONO but quite good sound. STEREO was invented in 1958...I wonder why we can't get Jet's 1962-65 hits in STEREO. The 1960 hit "Apache" from The Shadows, Jet was the bass player of the group, is in wonderfull wide-deep STEREO !??. I'd love to hear "Diamonds" at the sound quality of "Apache"...by the way both songs were written by the genius of Jerry Lordan

This CD costs nearly double than "The best of..." but it's worth it from all points of view...now enjoy one of the pioneers of electric guitars

Ciao,

Franco"
