UK Singles Chart.[2]

Release and reception

"In the Country" was written by all four members of the Shadows and was included on the pantomime cast album Cinderella. The single was released with the B-side "Finders Keepers", which was the title track from the group's previous soundtrack album.[1]

Reviewed in Disc, "In the Country" was described as "so hideously catchy everyone will be bouncing off the walls to it, whether they want to or not".[3] Peter Jones for Record Mirror wrote that it was "a very strong song" with "the Shads contributing the vocal wordlessness behind Cliff, who fair swings through a rather typical show tune. Has strong grow-on-you appeal".[4]
