Lost and forgotten sheet music from 1963 is the base for this stunning new EP, featuring Europe’s leading beat musicians. Englishmen Colin Pryce-Jones and John Tuck, both known from the renowned beat group The Rapiers, have teamed up with Norway’s Per Øydir, of Kåre and the Cavemen, Pete Berry & the Shake Set and Perry Dear & the Deerstalkers fame. Together they have recorded the melodies from “The Jet Harris Guitar Book” as they believe Jet Harris himself –The Shadows’ original bassist – would have done it back in 1963.
The EP was recorded in London’s Toe-Rag Studios, with producer Liam Watson, who rounds up this unparalleled dream team. Further declarations seem unnecessary – if you’re in the target group, you’ve already decided. If you know, you know.
«The Jet Harris Guitar Book» will be released by Jansen Records on April 5th.
This is a double EP, pressed on two 7-inch
records, housed in a gatefold cover, with photos and informative liner notes.
