Pete Stride wrote "Shadow", words and music, and it turns up on Fulham Fallout, the debut album from UK punks the Lurkers, which Beggar's Banquet put out in June 1978. Howard Wall sings lead, Stride plays guitar, Nigel Moore is on bass and Esso on drums, and all three of them add their voices behind Wall. Mick Glossop produced it, with Dave Bellotti, Jerry Green and Colin Owen engineering.
The album went into the UK chart at 57 in its first week, and a later reissue on Captain Oi! padded out the original fourteen tracks with twelve more singles and demos.
