Shadows' Greatest Hits (circa 1964)

You would have been forgiven for thinking that ITV did not accompany their trade test transmissions but this was only the case after the switching over to the ETP-1 testcard in 1978, but until then music did accompany the earlier testcards in the regions, but Test Card D was actually accompanied by music from The Shadows. Enjoy!!!!

As an apprentice TV engineer in the late 1960s, I remember the test card was accompanied with the Shadows tracks between 12.00 and 1.00 each day from the Emley Moor transmitter. The service department I worked in had six service bays. I used to rig a TV in each bay as soon as the engineers had gone for lunch and turn them up full volume.  It sounded fantastic !!

I agree with a previous poster - this music is not the original Shadows recording used by the ITA. They are Shadows hits but not played by them.

Shadows is my most favourite music of the 60s and still I love the numbers very much! Truly it is very interesting guitar music!
