Seems like a lot of those players found out about the music anyway though. Was it those legendary Pirate Radio Stations off shore?
Speaking of The Shadows, In '60, I had a buddy from The Netherlands. We played in a garage band together. He had all these cool records by The Shadows & them w/ Cliff Richard.
So guess what we called our garage band?
Bingo! No. The Shadows. I loved this one tune of theirs called "Blue Star" All these fine, fine, instrumentals.

yes and no Rex there were two offshore Radio Carolines and land based pirates stations like Radio London where Al Stewart's old band leader Tony Blackburn started as a Disk Jockey.
Regarding "blue star". I do not remember that instrumental only "Stars Fell On Stockton" which was a great song
