SHADOWS OF KNIGHT: Live 1966

(2015/Sundazed) 16 tracks.(2015/Sundazed) 16 tracks, Besides releasing two classic longplayers and many more singles (including the smash, 'Gloria'), touring/behaving badly all across America and appearing on TV shows like ‘Upbeat’ and ‘Where The Action Is’, the Shadows of Knight also ruled at suburban Chicago’s hands-down hippest teen club, The Cellar. Over the decades, their Cellar performances have become the stuff of legend.

Miraculously, two reels of tape of the Shadows of Knight live on stage at the Cellar (in 1966!) were eventually uncovered by Sundazed. As early as their ‘Gloria’ album debut in spring ’66, the Shadows of Knight had separated themselves from the garage band pack with a heavily Chicago Blues-based, wildly rocking repertoire. Their trademark sound is on full display in this attitude-drenched, anarchic live recording from late in that exalted year.

For this expanded edition, the original sets and correct song sequence have been faithfully restored. And to top that, additional and until now completely unheard bonus material is rescued from those old reels. Specifically, added to an already scorching set are previously-unheard takes of 'Peepin’ and Hidin’ (sung by blues legend Joe Kelley), 'Willie Jean' (with a vocal from drummer Tom Schiffour) and 'Any Way That You Want Me'. Equally important, the packaging now equals the musical contents thanks to an all-new, eye grabbing sleeve highlighted by John Hora’s amazing original photography from ’66.

Unlike their comparatively harnessed studio recordings, the Shadows of Knight are presented here raw ‘n’ alive, sloppy bordering on brilliant and with all the subtlety of a bulldozer. Would you want ‘em any other way?

The Shadows Of Knight

In 1964 the band was founded under the name The Shadows. After the record label recognized that there was already a group from England using the same name, they changed it to The Shadows Of Knight just before the first pressing. They recorded their first album for Dunwich Records in 1966. After that the original line-up dissolved and at the end of the 60s the label saw no more potential in the band. From the 80's The Shadows Of Knight reached a larger audience again. Especially through new editions of various record labels.
