Specs Appeal: What a great title! To two generations of fans, the Shadows' most instantly familiar trademark was Hank Marvin's spectacles – long before Elton John elevated eye glasses to the height of sartorial chic, there was Hank, playing away and smiling behind a gentle pair of horn rims. So, when the band re-formed in 1975, relaunching their career on the back of their Eurovision entry "Let Me Be the One," what better device could there have been to remind us all who they were? The album, unfortunately, is less inspired. "Let Me Be the One" was never going to be a Shadows classic, simply because they sang on it – the best of the band, a decade and more before, was purely instrumental. And while they did fall back on their greatest abilities elsewhere across Specs Appeal, it was all very polite, bordering on Muzak or, at best, trendy elevator rock. "Honourable Puff Puff," "Colorado Sunshine," "Spider Juice," and "This House Runs on Sunshine" are all pleasant enough foot tappers, but nothing reaches out and grab you in true Shadows style, not even the beautifully crafted version of "God Only Knows" that opens the album. When news first broke of the Shadows' reunion, most people agreed that it was great to have them back. But they'd have to do a lot better than this to make us remain grateful.
Tasty: 1977 probably wasn't a good year for any returning heroes to be trying to make an impression, especially if they wanted anyone to remember what they'd done. In a year that was devoured by punk rock, and which history recalls only for that monster's most fiery antics, a group like the Shadows wasn't even an irrelevance. They weren't noticed. And so Tasty came and went, the Shadows album that time forgot, and it was only if you really, really cared about the band that you hunted it down, dropped the needle on the vinyl, and wondered why you'd bothered. Firmly into easy listening territory now, the Shadows had so thoroughly perfected their signature sound that nothing could break through it. The sweetly chiming guitar lead, each note resonating in its own musical universe; the gentle rhythms percolating behind it; they could have recorded any song in the world, and it would have sounded just like you'd expect. So "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" bleeds into "Walk Don't Run," "Superstar" dances the "Cricket Bat Boogie," and even "Honky Tonk Women," a song that really shouldn't have easily succumbed to their charms, becomes just another gentle drift. None of which is to say Tasty is not a tasty treat. Play it, and you can feel your body melting into the moods; you don't even need to think about it, it just takes you over and does what it will. Which was a remarkable achievement in 1977, and is still a surprise today. Nobody would ever rate Tasty in their Top 20 Shadows albums. But it's certainly one of the most archetypal of them all. ~Allmusic
