Jeff, it's difficult to say. Not many Shadows internet groups
existed when An Evening In Nivram was released ('97?), and I don't
think I was a regular member back then anyway. in subsequent years
it would occasionally come up as a topic. My memory is that most
people that heard it liked it a lot. The bands on the comp didn't
come even close to capturing (as Shadows fans refer to it) THAT
SOUND, but I think the fans appreciated the innovative arrangements
and loving recreations. Most fans were surprised that so many
American surf bands would care. I think a small minority maybe
dismissed it as a 'bunch of bloody yanks messing with things they
know nothing about' or something along those lines, but I really
don't think there were many of those at all. In general, my memory
is that the reaction was a positive one. But I also don't think that
many fans actually bought the album, as it wasn't widely available in
the UK or the rest of the world, so I think most of them just don't
know it.
