Moody Guys... The Collectors

? SHANE FENTON & THE FENTONES were one of the most popular, hardest-working British beat groups in the immediate pre-Beatles era (Fenton would, of course, sensationally re-emerge as "Alvin Stardust" in the 1970s Glamrock era).

? Shane charted with numbers like 'I'm A Moody Guy', 'Walk Away', 'It's All Over Now' and 'Cindy's Birthday', while The Fentones notched up a couple of Shads-inspired Instro hits with, 'The Mexican' and 'The Breeze And I'.

? Sides like 'Why Little Girl' and 'Too Young For Sad Memories' were also popular fan favourites.

? All are included on this unique compilation, which features Shane & the boys' first eight 45s, alongside nineteen bonus tracks.

? This is effectively a specialist collectors' set, as the bonus cuts are made up of live radio broadcasts and unissued studio sides, which are virtually impossible to find elsewhere.

? Although the sound quality on a couple of the off-air live recordings is patchy, we're sure that their interest to fans far outweighs any unfortunate lo-fi shortcomings.
