Wonderful Land (TVS3) Version 2

Like several of their other hits, Wonderful Land was written for The Shadows by Jerry Lordan. It was released in 1962 and spent eight weeks at the top of the UK charts. I am using my '57 Reissue Stratocaster, TVS3 echo unit and Vox AC15H1TV amplifier. The video was recorded in HD with a Sony HDR-CX560V video camera.

Hi James,

This has to be the best non Shadows version I have heard. Congratulations on achieving this sound and so very well played.

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

Many thanks for your comments. That is praise indeed, considering how many versions of Wonderful Land are posted on YouTube. The TVS3 echo unit and Vox AC15H1TV contribute a great deal to the authenticity of the sound.

Cheers, James

Hello James,

I heard your rendition of Wonderful Land whilst scouring YouTube and I must say I really appreciate your beautiful version of this, in my view, the best ever Shadows

tune. It's been my favourite since I first heard it in the early 60's and after having obtained all Shads tracks on vinyl and CD since then, it's stil unsurpassed.

Hope you'll upload more Shadows tracks in the future ! Lots of success.

Hans
