Instrumentals : Still Collecting Them In 2011

Recommended Posts

I love instrumentals, so i guess i must be out of vogue also!

One of my is "I'm Satisfied With You" The Fury's which to knowledge only ever came out because Simon Soussan had the tapes he released it on Mirwood which we all thought was a pressing, but was it legit?

And aside from all the big well kmown ones I also still like Big Boris " Devils Drive" and The Niteliters "K Jee"

That "I'm Satisfied With You" Instrumental still love it to this day. Those Violin Strings JUST PERFECTION.

as with most of the other Mirwood / Keymen Instrumentals. "Same Old Thing", "What Is This" Instrumentals I bought around the same time.

Emanons Orchestra - Bird walkin' on All Brothers...always reminds me of Brum Locarno All-dayers!

I've got the unreleased instrumental of the flip of that, 'Look In The Wants Ad'. It's in the sales section, but think it's sold now to an astute chap from London town.

See here in is my problem with a lot of instrumentals, yeah soulful ones, examples off the top of my head, say like, groovin with mr blow or Frankie Crocker or ever Sounds of east Harlem, where you can feel that beatin rhythm.

But sometimes it seems to me, and the certainly includes the 'end days' of Wigan, but you might as well just throw on some up beat t.v. theme tunes.

Not having a go at this list, but 'Paint it black' or the Esperanto one, or ever the Phil Coulter one, I remember these getting played & I but i struggled to find any soul in them whatsoever, I think this period has scarred me I just think they sound like 'cop show' themes.

I even liked a few at the time myself, Harold Betts cover or Billy Arnell, but doubt I would now.

I suppose my point is, there's a very fine line, between soulful instrumentals and music that is not soulful (imo), maybe good, but not soulful.

Cheers ears

i buy loads of instrumentals, some of the more interesting of recent purchases - Soul Bug / Dynosonics on Dynamics label out of detroit, flip is also a stormer called 'You Got it'.

another I like allot is the flip of the variations - shot of Love on POW, called 'Tra La La La La' such a lush inst, surly somebody did vocals to this?

I'll pip scans and more when I get home..

Wingates Love-In Strings - Let's Have A Love-In

Ronnie & Robyn - Sidra's Theme

I imagine that there must be many unknown musicians out there that played on many of these Instrumentals.

Have any made themselves known over the years or even aware of their following I wonder.

The Fathers Angels - Bok To Bach.

Still love them, think they're so atmospheric. All of these remind me very much of places and a moment in time post-3008-0-31438400-1314196459_thumb.jppost-3008-0-44474700-1314196482_thumb.jppost-3008-0-54627400-1314196502_thumb.jppost-3008-0-96292700-1314196677_thumb.jp

I like the look of that Freddie McCoy........Only got the issue myself......Ive never seen a demo. Are they rare? An acquired taste is Soul Yogi. Reminds me of Samanthas circa 75 ish. John Vincent play. Took me quite a time to obtain one. Finally nail it in the Casino record bar. The guy had never heard of it. It was the only place to get sounds was that Casino record bar. I can smell the place now. Brilliant. Be a good idea for a thread. " your greatest finds/purchases in the Casino record bar" There must be loads of stories, good or bad.

Also The Subway Riders "After The Session"

I think that's a complete error on the label to be honest bcause the real After The Session is just some guys talking over the backing track of Betty Lavette's "Only your love can save me", a complete waste of vinyl. The instrumental version of What Shall I Do labelled as After The Session is obviously called something else.

See post 27..

Total Eclipse LP track called "Six-o-Clock" that is what "Supertime" really is, no single-LP only. :thumbsup:

I knew it was a cover-up, but couldn't remember who the original was :g: Thanks :P

Pete, that would explain, someone telling me that they had got one and it was the wrong record, I told him mine is ok.

I even know what night it was, it was near the stage at Wigan and I was tapeing. It was the 1st Ann.

It was a C120 change the batterys after the 1st hour, The Javells (N King) is on the tape 5 times. :lol:

Hi Mick,could you fill us in on the history of this? Iv'e got an audiodisc with similar writing on it.(Not S.Barnes)

Well I don't know much really - I do know JM auctioned one a few years back, suggesting that was one of only two ever made - The label and handwriting were the same: the only difference was the "Orchestra" on mine was shortened to "Orch" on JM's.

If you have one without the "Sydney Barnes" credit, then that's another one. I take it it has "Hold On" / "Soul Generation" on the flip?

I think I got mine in advance of it's proposed release - ie at the time I thought it would be released on Destiny, and there was no hint that it was to be scrapped as a release.

Cheers

Mick

Sorry Mick,should have been more clear.I have a different Audiodisc (another well known classic),and am trying to establish where and when it was made.And who wrote on the labels.IE: made to order in the States,or made here with shipped over labels.

LORD tHUNDER - THUNDER - Brilliant and very rarely heard out. :)

One of the best inst ever imo,funny how it's still better known by (Guy's??) c/u name after all these years.I'll probably be giving it a runout on Saturday :thumbsup:

Another for me that's up there with the best of them has already been mentioned is Frank Foster,what a dancer & one that hasn't been mentioned Mike Vickers,another proper dancer.

So yes I'm still buying insts...........Romeo Jones been my last one a few days ago.

Cheers
