Bert Weedon
Play in a Day - Hits Misses and Collectables 1956-1962 CD

Bert Weedon will always be remembered as one of the most important and influential British guitarist of all time, and for his multi-million-selling guitar tutorial which he wrote and published in 1957.
He subsequently became the UK's unlikely first ever guitar hero in 1959 when he charted with his lively cover version of The Virtues' twangy US hit Guitar Boogie Shuffle.
This collection features his most important recordings between 1956 and 1962, notably his original versions of Apache - which of course launched The Shadows' career, and Ginchy - which was popularised in the USA by The Ventures.
Also includes his other UK hits Nashville Boogie, Big Beat Boogie, Twelfth Street Rag, Sorry Robbie and Mr Guitar, as well as his historic cover version of Bill Doggett's Honky Tonk, which was the first-ever UK Rock 'n' Roll instrumental.
