"Change of Address" is an album by the British instrumental rock group The Shadows. It was released in 1980 by the record label Polydor. The premier track of the album, "Mozart Forte", was a top 5 hit in the UK, but the album itself enjoyed mixed success.
This album marked a significant shift in the band's sound as it was their first studio album of the decade. The band endeavored to adopt a more contemporary sound in this album, resulting in a mix of instrumental rock with synth and disco elements. The band incorporated more keyboards and synthesizers in their arrangements which created a distinct sound as compared to their previous albums.
Some of the key songs from the album include "Mozart Forte", "Midnight Creepin'", and "Change of Address". These songs serve as good representations of the band's evolved sound. The album is seen as part of The Shadows' transitional period as they explored new musical landscapes.
Like their other works, "Change of Address" showcases The Shadows' technical skill and innovative use of guitar effects. Despite not reaching the heights of their earlier success, the album remains a unique component of The Shadows' discography, proving their willingness to experiment with more modern musical styles.
