About this album

String Of Hits shows The Shadows adapting late-1970s pop and rock favourites to their trademark guitar sound. Issued in 1979, the album pairs the group’s smooth, melodic attack with instrumental versions of songs associated with film themes, chart hits and easy listening staples, turning familiar material into something crisp and distinctly theirs. By this stage The Shadows had long since defined the British instrumental single as an art form, and this collection underlines their ability to stay current without abandoning their elegant style. It is a sharp late-period statement from one of the UK’s most enduring guitar groups.
