The Lady in Red

Lady In Red: A Collection Of Great Ballads is a 1995 compilation CD featuring some of the best pop and rock ballads of our times. This was released by unknown, which means this is a counterfeit/bootleg release.

Lady in Red is the long-awaited collection of behind-the-scenes stories of one of the most influential first ladies in modern history - Nancy Reagan. Lovingly compiled by longtime close confidante and aide Sheila Tate, the audiobook provides a rare and much-anticipated look into the personal life of the president's wife, from her daily routines and travels as first lady to her friendships and deep influence in the Reagan White House.

Review: As a lifelong Shadows fan, I have tended in recent years to buy up their compilation albums as well as original recordings to enjoy them all in different formats. In this collection Disc 1 profiles Shadows' recordings, whilst Disc 2 showcases Hank Marvin's solo tracks. The way this disc is presented nicely contrasts the different approaches of the group and solo recordings and gives an insight into the historical recordings the group has made over the years. The only down side to this collection is that the versions of the Shadows' hits are the Polydor re-recordings and not the original EMI ones which, in my opinion, were better. This should not detract from the disc as a whole which is an extremely enjoyable collection, showcasing certainly one of the most influential, yet underrated groups this country has ever produced. Hank's guitar playing is as impeccable and brilliant as ever. Favourite tracks are: The Deer Hunter (Cavatina), Wonderful Land, Theme for Young Lovers and the brilliant live version of Sacha.
