"Geronimo" is an instrumental by British group the Shadows, released as a single in November 1963. It peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart.

Release and reception
"Geronimo" was written by the Shadows' Hank Marvin and was released with the B-side "Shazam", originally recorded by Duane Eddy in 1960. "Geronimo" was recorded at EMI Studios (later renamed Abbey Road) in December 1962; "Shazam" was recorded at the Jubilee Theatre in Blackpool in August 1963 whilst the group were on tour.

Reviewed in Record Mirror, "Geronimo" was described as having "an "Apache" beat in the background, and the whole thing moves along smoothly. Maybe not up to the standard of some of their previous hits, but cleverly played, and with a driving beat. Norrie Paramor string and choral backing. But we don't reckon this'll do so well as most of theirs". For Disc, Don Nicholl wrote that it "gallops along well in the spirit of its Red Indian title" and that it is "a good production that ought to do at least as well as "Shindig".

"The Savage" is an instrumental track by British group the Shadows, released as a single in November 1961. It peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background and release
"The Savage" was released as a "double-sided hit" with "Peace Pipe". Both songs were written and produced by Norrie Paramor and the single was released to promote the film The Young Ones, which starred Cliff Richard.

Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "The Savage" as "a quite, twangy offering with quick, turbulent pace to it". He described "Peace Pipe" as "a more mellow melody. Flows along smoothly and is neatly played by the group".

The Shadows' Hank Marvin said that "The Savage" "is undoubtedly a mediocre record and should never have been released as a single", as "it hasn't a strong enough melody for a single release. It is a run-of-the-mill number with little to recommend it". The group learned of the planned release of the single whilst they were on tour in Australia. They tried to stop it being released, but the record company said they had already pressed 100,000 copies and that it was too late.

WipeOut

Cliff Richard's iconic masterpiece 'Living Doll' caused a sensation when it finally reached the ears of Wrexham in 1983. Sensing a moneyspinner, local singer Gryff Pritchard teamed up with the Rhythmic Sheds to produce their own version. This is also an early appearance by the Asdarettes in their current form since Cerridwen and Joan had just left the Kworpremes after Joan was sacked by the Co-op for 'talking back'.
Pritchard's fame was short lived, since a few months following the release of the single he was arrested for kidnapping a butcher's assistant from The Beastmarket and locking him up in a trunk. The young man was only rescued following the report of a Jehovah's Witness who, having been told to 'sod off from my doorstep' heard the muffled words 'Let me out, ya tone deaf crazy arsehole!' from an upper floor.
The case did serve to raise the awareness of butcher's assistants being kidnapped and put in a trunk, which was becoming an issue in the town at the time.

The song Midnight was written by Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin and was first released by The Shadows in 1961.. "F.B.I." is an instrumental rock tune recorded by the British group the Shadows and released as a single in February 1961. It spent 19 weeks in the UK Singles Chart reaching number 6 in mid-February and mid-March 1961.

Release and reception
"F.B.I." was written by the Shadows' Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Jet Harris, but due to complicated publishing contracts it was credited to their manager Peter Gormley. The actual composers' names never appeared on the credits. It was released as a single by EMI on the Columbia label, with the B-side "Midnight", written by Marvin and Welch. It was released in the United States and Canada in July 1961 on Atlantic Records with "The Frightened City", written by Norrie Paramor, as the B-side.

Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "F.B.I." as "a quick moving melody that may not quite live up to the implications of the title – but which is a very contagious thing all the same". He also wrote the "Midnight" "seems pretty obviously to have been inspired (consciously or not) by "Sleep Walker". The same sliding electric guitar technique is used for a similarly lazy melody".[6]

Theme From Shane

"Dance On!" is an instrumental by British group the Shadows, released as a single in December 1962. It went to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart. A vocal version, with lyrics by Marcel Stellman, was recorded by British female vocalist Kathy Kirby, whose version reached number 11 on the UK chart in September 1963.

Release and reception
"Dance On!" was written by Valerie Murtagh, Elaine Murtagh and Ray Adams, better known for being the members of pop vocal group the Avons. It was released with the B-side "All Day", written by Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin. In the US and Canada, "Dance On!" was released with the B-side "The Rumble", written by guitarist Ike Isaacs.

Reviewed in New Record Mirror, "Dance On!" was described as sounding "rather reminiscent of Duane Eddy ... which soon falls into the jug-along formula that we're used to. Tuneful and exciting in parts, there's a lot of versatility involved in this one. Not as original as we expected though – but perhaps originality for this sort of group has been exhausted". Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl wrote that the song "beats a very infectious path and the side has a lot more to offer than their "Guitar Tango" dramaties".

"La La La Song"
(from "Finders Keepers" soundtrack)

There’s a song I know, this is how it goes
There is nothing in it complicated
Take the melody, simple as can be
There is nothing in it that can date it

There’s no language problem in it
Children everywhere can sing it, swing it
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la

There’s no language problem in it
Children everywhere can sing it, swing it

See, I’ve told you so
But now I must go
Leaving you with something to remember
Now be on your way
What else can I say?
There is really nothing to it
All you have to do is, do it
All you have to sing is la la la (la la la)
Sing la la la (la la la)
Sing la la, la la la la la
