The Rise And Fall of Flingel Bunt (TVS3)

Released as a single by The Shadows in 1964, 'The Rise And Fall of Flingel Bunt' reached number 5 on the UK charts. Here is my rendition using my '93 Stratocaster, TVS3 echo unit and Apple's 'Garage Band' software. The backing track, courtesy of TVS Specialty Products, is The Shadows minus Hank Marvin's lead guitar.

I wouldn't take any notice of the merseyshadow idiot, your playing is far better than his, and better than his ever will be. but his videos are OK if you need something funny to watch that is, just listen to his version of I could easily fall in love with you, this is guaranteed to make you laugh, but watch your ears ....and at the same time it proves he has no respect for Cliff and the Shads...... I like your playing very much and it is not boring...

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for the advice. This is one of my older videos and I was not very happy with it either. I had been thinking of deleting and redoing it. Anyway, I'll definitely check out your version, and take your advice to heart. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment.

Cheers, James
