The Shadows - Man of Mystery (1960)

Yes of course it is. Its identical in every way and I also have 2 large floppy ears on my head. Lets not forget that other Shadows classic Apache, which is of course a blatent rip off of the German National Anthem and then wonderful Land which is a rip off from the Theme tune to Eastenders.

Hello BNP. I invite you to listen to this instrumental piano version of the song I mention. Please try to focus on the harmony in the chorus. You'll find that the chord progression is exactly the same. Chord by chord.

I already listened before I commented.
yes the Chord Progression is the same, but how many other hundreds of examples could this apply to? I see your point, and agree the progression is the same, however to claim its a blatant rip off is a little over the top.

Give me five of your hundred of examples where almost TEN chords are played exactly the same way. Don't try to lower this as a common thing.

That's F.B.I. if I remember correctly.

Rodcow, It is Man Of Mystery , though there are some similarities.

Howdo.That was actually a reply to somebody who askd which Shadows song was in Beatles Anthology.

Sorry mate, The posts on this one are not really in order so I thought, you thought this was FBI.

@BritishNoblePerson
No probs fella.Yeh the order is screwed up on this one for some reason.

Hank Marvin is the PHD on the guitar. All his instrumental hits are sensationals. His playing style is unique, his blocked notes and most of all, his skill in using the vibrato arm like what you hear in this song.
So I will not listen to another performer doing a Shadow piece because the The Shadows is simply the best.
