Shane Fenton & The Fentones were one of the most popular, hardest-working British beat groups in the immediate pre-Beatles era (Fenton would, of course, sensationally re-emerge as “Alvin Stardust” in the 1970s Glamrock era).

Shane charted with numbers like ‘I’m A Moody Guy’, ‘Walk Away’, ‘It’s All Over Now’ and ‘Cindy’s Birthday’, while The Fentones notched up a couple of Shadsinspired Instro hits with, ‘The Mexican’ and ‘The Breeze And I’. Sides like ‘Why Little Girl’ and ‘Too Young For Sad Memories’ were also popular fan favourites. All are included on this unique compilation, which features Shane & the boys’ first eight 45s, alongside nineteen bonus tracks.

This is effectively a specialist collectors’ set, as the bonus cuts are made up of live radio broadcasts and unissued studio sides, which are virtually impossible to find elsewhere.

Although the sound quality on a couple of the off-air live recordings is patchy, we’re sure that their interest to fans far outweighs any unfortunate lo-fi shortcomings.
