Sunnysoul Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 OK, so what have been the most popular instrumentals by Sandy Nelson on the northern scene?
Pete S Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 There's a lot of them but the only one I can ever remember hearing out, and this was way way back about 1975, was Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart, which was actually booted on a 45. They're all LP tracks I think.
Sunnysoul Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 This appeared on an early Kent LP of northern classics but was it actually played to any degree ?
Jordirip Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I think I've got 'Sock it to 'em JB' on UA 45 by him.
Sunnysoul Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 I think I've got 'Sock it to 'em JB' on UA 45 by him. Imperial.
Pete S Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 He did loads but maybe they were local biggies, for instance the one on the Kent lp above, never heard it anywhere except on that LP. He did stacks of soul covers, Twine Time, Land of 1000 Dances, Nothings Too Good For My Baby (included on UA Northern LP), Cool Jerk etc
Sunnysoul Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) This must obviously be a 45 boot ? Edited April 30, 2014 by sunnysoul
Jordirip Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Imperial. I'm sure mine's on UA. It's been years since I've seen it so I could be wrong.
Pete S Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 This must obviously be a 45 boot ? Yes thats on the other side of Love Is Like An Itching I think, both LP tracks
pow wow mik Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Everything he did is just not quite right for djing imo. He does an inst version of 'I dont need no doctor' which would be great if it wasnt ruined by heavy guitar solo. I think I nearly thought about playing his 'drums a go go' 45 once, it uses the kinks 'all day' riff with drum breaks but is pretty shit in the final analysis. edit - oops, that last one's hal blaine sorry.

Kegsy Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 What was played from this lp? Don't know but that picture is a classic. Front row Dave Rivers ?, Andy Simpson and Ian Levine. Back row Mick Smith ? (left) buts who's the one on the back right ?
nickp Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) https://youtu.be/IDjVEx_dDnA Listening to this the other day, quite a nice version. Sped up a bit and equed, it works...quite an afro Cuban feel.

Soul-slider Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Yes thats on the other side of Love Is Like An Itching I think, both LP tracks I have the L.P on UK Liberty - 'Super Drums' (1966)

Guest Gogs Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I'm sure mine's on UA. It's been years since I've seen it so I could be wrong. My copy is on UA, so you are right.
