murano Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Hello all. Found a strange vogue record. Titled as Group: "Slim Pikins" and Song: "Tighten up" produced by Ed Chalpin german vogue. The strange thing is that the singer say something about "I'm Tommie Knight and the Nights from Miami Florida..." Found nothing about Tommie or Tommy Night & the Nights. Anyone know something about the Group? Put it on Youtube: Thanks M*
Guest Lobster Madras Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Strange one, never seen that before.. Poor old keyboard player can't seem to keep up with the drummer ! Not quite up to the standard of this one though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5EAxcaHZlE
galaxy Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 There is original US 45 of this. It is rare though! They leased the track to 2 European comps. Here they go under Night Men: https://collectorsfrenzy.com/Details.aspx?id=160498002183
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Goes really well until the organ comes in, then loses it a bit, But thats kind of charming in a way. Love the drums.
boba Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 i like this a lot. the drums are awesome. what is the US label? the collectors frenzy was for a foreign label I think?
galaxy Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 US lbl is Promenade. Actually 4 track 7" EP. Quite a shitty sound on it too.
