Unidentified Acetate Instrumental

[Amsterdam Russ]

Can anyone help in identifying this instrumental track? Possibly it's the backing track to something, but if so, what?

Sounds like some of the Flomar demos, defo NYC quite possibly not a soul track.

That piano hook sounds like I've heard it.

Interesting, I'll ask my co-workers.

Something the Everley Brothers did,

Something the Everley Brothers did, :D

Actually you are spot on there, it's the riff from The Everly Brothers song Walk Right Back.

Thought it reminded me of something they did.

Any information would be very much appreciated. There is an instrumental on the flip as well, which is a bit sparser than this one you hear here.

Stick that up and all then, it might be a clue!

Happy to - I'll add an image to the file and whack it up to YouTube...

[Amsterdam Russ]

Here you go. It's a rather plodding tune. I've always imagined it to have an association with Eeyore or perhaps Don Quixote's donkey...

The guitarist sounds familiar, no wiser though

Soz

Sounds like a Bacharach riff in there.

[Amsterdam Russ]

Well, it's a shame that the tracks couldn't be identified. They aren't the first to remain anonymous on here and they certainly won't be the last. Maybe someone will eventually recognise one or both of the recordings and be able to put a name, face, title or label to them, especially as they're freely accessible through YouTube.

I'd much rather they were 'claimed' than sit anonymously and unacknowledged in a dusty record box...

Bit slightly faster

Nice though

It sounds very "girls groupy" to me-NOT Everly Bros. (overall). But NOT Scepter-Wand, and DEFINITELY not Bachrach-David. It does sounds like NY arranger and session players.
