What About The Instrumental?


Guest Brooky

Recommended Posts

Quite a few popular tunes where the instrumental is better IMHO...........Exus Trek as an example.....

Big one for me though.....the Kaddo Strings on Impact kicks Duke Browner vocal into a cocked hat I think....as does the Tan Soul version of Hey America..........

Sorry if it's been done before........

Keymen strings,inst flip of the Fidels."strings and things"making up for the lack of a vocal.Beautiful track.

Wow Chas....thanks for that.......I have the original vocal on Keymen.........didn't know this ( the instrumental) existed.....just found it on YouTube......listening to the original earlier today in the car prompted the thought for the thread............

Yeah I agree some instro' are better than the vocal versions.

One of my faves is 'Milton Wright - The Gallop'

Actually I'm not sure which came first the instro' or the vocal version?, I have a feeling

that the vocal was put on after? Anyone?

inst first..big sound post Torch early Wigan..

:thumbsup:

One step too far with this one me thinks. "As Long As You Love Me" undoubtedly superior.

Also, got to agree with Pete - The Fidels - Try A Little Harder !!!

I think we all need to try a little harder if we are gonna site these as inferior to the Instrumentals. !!

I personally can't choose between Sidras Theme vocal and instrumental, when I hear the one I want to hear the other, and vice versa, maybe someone should do an extended mix!

Wasn't Little Floridy played as "Herb Ward - Theme From The Forgotten Man" or something similar - you have to Love Guy's imagination, when it comes to "cover ups". Talking of Stafford, does anybody prefer the vocal by David Walker (I think) to:-

Paradox - Ring The Changes - Polydor

That guy Arthur Wright name turns up on a few of these tracks, Any in-depth info on him?

BTW 'What about the instrumental' the title of this thread any allusions to that ultra rare Billy Harner 45 on Karma Sutra?

I'll get me coat

Chris L knows Arthur Wright, I"m sure he can give a few facts and insights, I think he ran over an unissued acetate in his garage once

One of the top 10 instro`s of them all!

Sidras Theme (End of the World) is awesome....the vocal ruins it.

Peter Hamilton Generation (Hey Girl)....be surprised if there's an argument over that one!!! :D

Must agree over the Fi-Dels too - vocal is better....but still great that there is an instrumental version though...especially when I didn't know...but do now. :thumbsup:

Festival Time , great instrumental the vocal by Laura Lee sounds as though it does not match the music.

Have to agree with you, been saying this ever since I heard it, sounds like they wrote the song to fit the music way after the instrumental had been finished, like one of the first tailor mades!
