The Shadows - Wonderful Land

6 April 1962,; Dutch television, on the Rudi Carell show;
Translation:
Rudi: I have money
Girl: I'm sorry but they are stealing from here, hundreds of records
Rudi: If I get this correct a top hit is the record that is stolen the most and which record is that at this moment?
Girl: Oh sir that is Wonderful Land by The Shadows
Rudi: Could you play that for me
Girl: Sorry sir I had only one but that one is in the window now
Rudi: In the window? Then we will look in the window and watch The Shadows

Up until I just stumbled on this a few minutes ago I had always thought that this was an original song by Mike Oldfield recorded back in the eighties, (On the album "QE2" if I remember correctly). I had no idea that it was a cover.

Jerry Lordan wrote Wonderful Land and also Atlantis for The Shadows.

[Philip Croft]

Yeah--I took him for a normal human being--not a brain dead slave to lunacy!

First time listening to this. Grandma was born in 1917 still standing and she showed me all this music from the 50s and 60s all the old records. Believe me I'm 17 don't really like the generation I'm living in, wish I was in the 60s. Suites great music had nice hair styles. The way they dressed. Now a days she you kids wearing the same thing! Don't like it.

Wow that conversation is mentally crippled? Worst TV introduction in history maybe. Lame Lame Lame. And I thought 60's TV in UK was bad .....
