One of the great early rock 'n' rollers. Even the Beatles were fans, and one of their first recordings was an instrumental, whose name now seems particularly appropriate: 'Cry For A Shadow'.

Just got my first jet harris and tony meehan cd a few weeks ago after all these years, a unique sound that carries well even today. The wonderful bass lead and exp drumming made for an unforgettable duo.
