soulpaul0 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 instrumentals where a big part of northern/wigan years but seam to gone out of fashion now just wondering what is the most popular+ rarest /best one i ill open with the most popular being checkerboard squares? up to you on the other ones.
grant Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 'harlem rumble; must be up there as one of the rarest 'funky funky' too maybe? 2
Scotters Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 One I've enjoyed this last couple years / still enjoy hearing out and dancing to is The Bamboos take on Archie Bell & Drells classic Tighten Up. Not bad for an Aussie Funk outfit! 2

Back Street Blue Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 The purists seem to say that you can't really have soul without the vocals..............but instrumentals have always been played at soul clubs so far as I know and I love 'em. You certainly don't need to hear vocals to dance to a tune. I don't know which is the rarest or most popular, but these are among the best in my opinion; Davis & Tyler - hold on help is on the way Billy Preston - billy's bag Righteous Bros Band - rat race Earl Wright - thumb a ride Eddie Bishop - call me The Brothers - are you ready for this Hesitations - that's what love is Dynatones - the fife piper The lad Teens - white rice David Hamilton - the deacons The Soulful Strings - comin' home baby Earl Van Dyke - 6x6 Booker T - green onions ................and last but not least.....Ramsey Lewis - wade in the water 1
Dunmiedin Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Martin beat me to it with Sidra's Theme but what about The Innocent Bystanders- Frantic Escape - Pameline/Atlantic. An absolutely mental backing track from the great Popcorn Wylie. 2
Guest Matt Male Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Instrumentals are mostly s**t in my opinion (yes I am a purist ) but there is the odd good one. ...oh yeah and 'Like My Baby' Gino Washington. Edited March 22, 2013 by Matt Male
Russoul1 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 always loved the chaumonts - now yourve gone also as already listed white rice - lad teens & funky funky cant beat a good full-on instrumental! 2

Guest Geordie Martin Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I had one that was popular and pretty good on british polydor called -ring the changes by paradox, maybe the other way round it was a pretty wobbly time for me! Anyway, story had it there were only two copies, bought mine from Guy Henigan and most Rev Tony Clayton bought it from me. Never saw another copy before or since All time fave instrumentals would include -on the road to ruins by earl wright, baritrack and exus trex.
Harry Crosby Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 tunnnne!! great sax, big nighter spin £20 well spent..... Really? had it years never heard it out anywhere, then again I don`t get out and about much these days

Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Not sure what the rarest is but Billy Harner what about the music must be up there. And what about the unreleased I have faith in you....wow! Martin
Grayman45 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Always makes me wonder why we like them. Is it the beat that we naturally assume is soulful? Remember Phil Coulter - Good Thing Going or Shadows and Reflections?

Martin good question... what is the hardest/rarest instro???? most quality instrumentals can be picked up cheaply i suppose because off the lack of air play...out off vogue and for purist reasons lol
corby john Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 For a thumping Instrumental..........it's gotta be "The Romeo's - Mon Petite Chow "...........storming !! 1

Modernsoulsucks Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Got a soft spot for that "Cheyenne" Promised Land, mainly cos I expect it to turn up on a proper label one day ! The Michael Rubini was new to me. Bit "California Montage" I thought. ROD
Guest CARL D Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Keymen Strings-Try a Little Harder. Dogs-Soul Step. Roy Roberts-Got to Have Your Love(love recorded take, but would be a great instrumental too me thinks). Isn't there an instrumental take of Ann Perry-That's the way he is? Young Holt-California Montage
