Hiya, I'm John Campbell .... .... and from that bygone teenage moment when I first heard Apache, my musical direction was clear, and my enthusiasm for The Shadows and their magic sound has not waned at all since. I began acquiring Shadows recordings back then, and my collection is comprehensive -- but alas incomplete. Please check my Wants and Trades lists for items with which we can help each other -- I will buy and sell if necessary. My main trading activities are (naturally enough) with New Zealand vinyl releases, however, my collecting focusses on worldwide Shadows recordings (especially CDs). If you have anything at all you think may be of interest to me in either recorded material or Shadows memorabilia - or indeed if you have any suggestions as to how I can make this site more informative, I would appreciate it if you would e-Mail me. If you are looking for Shadows, Hank B. Marvin or Cliff Richard and The Shadows discographies, check Malcolm Campbell's Guides seen below. If you're looking for hard-to-find "Kiwi" pressings, don't go past my Trades page. Because our population has traditionally remained small, pressings were inevitably from very small runs, and releases (especially those individual rarities which were unique to good old New Zealand), are thus highly prized by collectors worldwide. Please use the release number hotlinks in the Discographies to review the many label variants and errants which have resulted from the small production volumes per run which have always been a fact of life in the tiny NZ market. I hope you enjoy using Penumbra !. |
