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",

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

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

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:

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.

 

 

 

Yes - Ive got the lp "keep on dancing" with this on it on original yellow coxsone

 

Great tunes - His version of "Hang em high" is mental

Dead right - my pal often drops Hang 'em High in the middle of a hip hop set.

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

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!

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!
