Instrumentals

Posted

Bore the life out of me as I can't sing along to them. No soul just a beat. Thankfully I don't hear them out often but am aware they was a major part of the scene back in the day.

Was talking to someone the other day about this and they would love to hear more played at events.

More or less what's your thoughts ?

Hearing that Halloween tune and the harmonica.....made me think of these 'obvious instru's....which went back to me bedroom days....! Mighty Mouse being me favourite piano break of the 3...but all have their merits and have featured in most of ours 'Soul' career...I reckon!!x

This is a nice cheap 70s sound (well I like it). I used to have a copy but it's gone awol. The flip of Lee Charles' "Sittin' On A Time Bomb",

 

Get Your House In Order (1974)

 

The chaumonts-now you've gone -baysound  . c,up at wigan for pat brady,then a big sound for guy at Stafford.

The stairways - don't you care-Richie.dave Mitchell&the screamers c/up at Morecambe.

Remember an inst called cookin with Nixon but cant remember who by.

Yeh this was played by Guy Hennigan at Stafford.The Vocal to it is Called --Fox In A Mini Skirt--Claude & Hank Carbo --Castle.The Vocal is a much better record in my opinion

 

 

i must say this is a case of sidras theme for me

 

i can't decide which i prefer

 

the vocal is funky, the instrumental is sort of northern, its 2 great 45s

the lp on mainstream is great

From my point of view, its probably different from a northern soul fan

 

I have loved instrumental music since Mcgriff and Smith

 

instrumentals are part of my head

 

i could not imagine soul without the musicians

 

ray barretto for example

 

he was  latin percussion

but much soul

 

i could go on for weeks

I would have given anything for a copy of this in the early seventies.

THE TRIUMPHS - WALKING THE DUCK - Northern Soul

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sngb8sztAjE

 

this  really is a classic jazz soul instrumental

 

new orleans at its best

I  love funky hammond things like this

 

full blast in the car !

 

You won't get much better than this for a hammond instrumental Gareth, in my opinion.  Shades of 'Light my fire' by the Doors me thinks.

 

Innocent Bystanders - Frantic Escape, mega Torch sound and f**king awesome

 

Shelly

I don't want this thread to end. I have a couple in my head that I never knew the name of. If we carry on for a year or so, they might come up. :yes:

New to me & loved the start but it just never really seems to get going for me?Might be one those that needs a few more plays,it's certainly got something..........but has it got enough I'm not sure yet?Slipped in at the right venue during the right spot & it could be a winner :thumbsup:

this is awesome - played it out again the other ,,,,week brill tune

Yes I do love the vocal to this, but on a great sound system that can cope with the Bass with no distortion, this sounds fantastic.

And this

Sometimes the instrumental is much better than the vocal, as in Double Cooking by the Checkerboard Squares!  The vocal spoils the atmosphere of the production.

 

Northern Soul relies heavily on production so instrumentals work well, no good if you are a deep soul/modern fan though!

Edited by Guest

what l don,t get is why credit an instrumental...........to a singer lol

I remember falbala played in Cleo's supplied by my mate who purchased it at Samantha's Sheffield ,

Instrumental is mostly for Stomping and most do not stomp no more .

Jackie Edwards Bands Instrumental version to " Millie - Mixed up, fickle, lonely, self-centred, spoiled kind of boy "

 

Never Again

 

Personally I love a good instrumental - and so do the producers of cooking programmes it would seem - I heard more northern instrumentals on Paul Hollywoods show yesterday than there have been on this thread!
