Checkers - Applesauce - Mickays

[paultp]

Does anyone have a sound file of the Applesauce side please?

Also, does anyone know anything about the record at all? It isn't in JM's book and google doesn't turn up a lot either. Popsike shows a copy going through ebay UK last year for £112 but that's about it.

I suspect that they might have been the same group as The Checkerboard Squares. Both recorded instrumentals in Detroit in the early/mid '60s.

I've had a little listen and it's quite good - nice hammond, great sax but also includes one of my pet hates - twangy guitar!!

I used to have a theory that somebody in Detroit in the 60's was playing sessions and trying to introduce twangy guitar, sometimes gaining agreement and sometimes not. Two sided thing on Big Hit is another example of a good record spoilt by twangy guitar. Just IMHO

I just bought a copy for a few dollars on spec off ebay and was wondering what I'd bought!

Cheers

Paul
