Guest Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) I've got a couple of what I'm assuming are 70s pressings on Modern with fantastic instrumentals on the flips by the Arthur Wright Orchestra. The ones I have are: Mary Love - Lay This Burden Down & Vernon Garrett - If I Could Turn Back... The question is are there any other 45s that had instrumentals by Arthur Wright on the flip and if so how much should I expect to pay for them? Cheers! Edited June 24, 2006 by Guest
Pete S Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Just a made up name for the artist I think, obviously Arthur Wright was the arranger but it's just a name for the studio band. Chris Lalor's met Arthur Wright quite recently, he'll be able to tell you more about him. I think he gave him some unissued acetate which Chris accidentally ran over in his car!

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT PETE ??
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Ironically - and I think Pete will agree with me here - these Simon Soussan-supervised jobbies are probably a bit harder to find nowadays than the original Modern 45s! The original tapes for these backing tracks - and that's all they are, backing tracks, not specially-recorded versions - now reside in Ace's library. I actually reissued the "Hands Of Time" instrumental on the fairly recent Vernon Garrett CD on Kent... TONE

Chris L Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Yes it's true, I bought a load of stuff of Arthur Wright, acetates, records, tapes and stuff and by accident ran over them in my car Don't ask.......................... I spoke to him in April about those instrumentals, they are all Simon Soussan stuff, including.............and this a great shame, the instrumental "Hurt on the other side". He got hold of the backing track from Arthur and added the strings. Chris L
Pete S Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Ah but I supplied you with a recording of Hurt On The Other Side inst didn't I Chris and stupidly didn't copy it for myself...you ought to post it up.

Yes you did Pete, I played it all the way home.................... Funny enough I spoke to both Sid Barnes & Art Wright and neither of them had heard of the instrumentals existence. Top sound, I might even dance to it one day............... Chris

Just before logging on I was putting a pile of records away that I had out when sorting playlist for Worcs Uni & guess what one of them was. I hope you enjoy this mp3, it has come at a cost ! I've missed 2 goals in the Argie/Mexico game already !!!!! P.s. Listen carefully at the start & you can hear the count in P.s. P.s. I will put the vocal up after the Footy, much better Another crackin forgotten oldie !Arthur_Wright_Orch_mp3.MP3Mary_Love___Lay_this_burden_down.MP3 Edited June 25, 2006 by B-side-B
