Shadow Music album

Hello everyone
I listened to the Shadow Music album for the first time yesterday. It might sound odd but I’ve been listening to Shads albums from the 60s every few years so I have the experience of hearing a new one occasionally.
I thought it was a great album - consistent and very enjoyable.
The Guide to Shadow Music book was a but critical about it as an album but praised many of the individual tracks.
I wondered how everyone rated this album looking back. Plenty of band originals and some good arrangements. I wonder if the tracks were covered by others.
One thing I always note with 60s Shads albums is that they continued the tradition of not including singles on an album. I wonder if that eventually meant their albums were less well remembered than other bands. The Beatles usually had a single on an album somewhere, to encourage album buying instead of thinking it was poor value to include a single.
