The Savage THE SHADOWS

"The Savage" is an instrumental track by British group the Shadows, released as a single in November 1961. It peaked at #10 on the UK Singles Chart. The Shadows' Hank Marvin said that "The Savage" "is undoubtedly a mediocre record and should never have been released as a single", as "it hasn't a strong enough melody for a single release. It is a run-of-the-mill number with little to recommend it". The group learned of the planned release of the single whilst they were on tour in Australia. They tried to stop it being released, but the record company said they had already pressed 100,000 copies and that it was too late. Still, a #10 hit isn't bad!
