Top 40 RADIO CHARTS.

Weekly Music Charts were common place and still are. These charts generally showed a local listing and
were not really any indication on national Sales( ie Cashbox or Billboard). The interesting thing Ivefound with them is you got an idea of what songs were hot and what genres of music were emerging . Keep in mind, they changed weekly and are also no indication to the overall National position of the song. Click the chart to view...

Tour Programs, ads etc... rarities added.

Ive added the covers of some tour programs which were package shows that the Shangri-las performed on.
Also theres a link to your typical generic page that would feature the Shangri-las. Ive also added
Ads etc... courtesy of Mick Patrick. Many thanks there.!!!

Some great people have stepped up to help with this site, and I have to say, without their help it would not
have been possible. Esp, John Grecco who offered advice and the use of some fantastic items, Juan Casiano and Frank Daniele who has contributed alot of personal items from there own collection ,
to Mick Patrick and the Spectropop newsgroup and also the Girlgroups.com message board, from which alot of images used were sent to me and appear in the pages of this site.
Many thanks to you all.

ALSO, if you see theres spots where you may be able to help, ie, images of singles where there isnt an image, or pics of the girls, memorabillia, promo items, ticket stubbs etc.... please email me, and I will place em in.

P.S This is a reference site, not a commercial venture etc... if you own copyright to anything on here and wish it to be removed, please contact me, or if you own copyright to stuff on here and dont mind it being there, contact me and I will credit you with copyright etc... and provide a link to anything else you may have online.
Im a fan who thought it was about time there was a dedicated site for the Shangri-Las.
This is the best I can do... but with your help it will grow.

P.S I would like to thank my sister Lindy, who first turned me onto
the Shangri-Las in the very early 70's, providing me with my earliest musical memory. :-)
