I've checked, and The Shadows were credited on the Columbia Label, with all of their Cliff Richard & The Shadows Hits. However, The Official UK Charts Company only credits 1 of their Cliff Richard & The Shadows No.1's to The Shadows - 'Travellin' Light', (1959). (They were called The Drifters, when they had their first No.1, with Cliff Richard. That was 'Living Doll', in 1959). THE SHADOWS W/E 27th August 1960 01... (2) APACHE - THE SHADOWS 02...
