Ik001 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 “River Deep Mountain High” Instrumental Does any enlightened member out there know if there is a vinyl recording of the actual backing track to this record. I’m sure I heard it played out an all-nighter in Leeds in 1974 (what a memory senile dementia has not quiet set in yet). I know about the Les McCann version which doesn’t compare with the Ike & Tina version. I’m a bit of a sucker for instrumentals and must say I’m a bit of loss on this one. Maybe it’s just my imagination. Best, Ian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 There's a huge amount of Spector backing tracks and outtakes floating around, I had at least 100, don't have many of them now but I can easily find them again and check if that's there.

Ik001 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you wouldn't mind Pete, I could then maybe get a vinyl carver of it. Best, Ian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Still not found it, sorry, you can hear bits of it here, I had a full length one though, I'm sure I did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI9RIvluRAA Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Epic Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Wasn't it played off a budget LP with a pink cover with geometric shapes (Detroit Sounds ???) - seem to think Nathan Jones was also on it . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
