Shadows Of Knight (aka Shake)

 

CD

 

"Until now there has been a gap in the story of garage-meisters The Shadows Of Knight… but no more!

At the end of 1967, having cut their most monstrous singles, ‘I Wanna Make You Mine’ and ‘Someone Like You’, they seemed to take a hiatus. This was due to the collapse of their label, Dunwich, after which the band made the most unlikely of moves, to the home of bubblegum, Super K Productions! Straight away, they came up with the breakbeat-tastic single ‘Shake!’ and a couple of mighty follow-ups including the stupendous ‘My Fire Department Needs A Fireman’. Their next, self-titled, album didn't appear until the end of 1968. A rough-hewn slice of proto-grunge with weird bubblegum trimmings, it faded into obscurity… until now".
