This 1970 release from The Shadows, "Shades of Rock," saw the band exploring more of the hard rock sound that had developed throughout the late 1960s. It was a departure from their earlier surf rock and pop-influenced instrumental work.

The Shadows were a British instrumental rock band formed in London in 1958. They are widely considered pioneers of the guitar and bass guitar sound in rock music.
