NEV Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Can not understand why they chose Exus trek over ,if its all the same to you ,on the new film soundtrack ? The vocal version makes it a soul record ,the backing is just a record with the soul removed ! But honestly think my fave instrumental goes to "are you ready for this " by the brothers .

But by late 70's I was hearing both versions off the grapevine lp I bought to practice my dancing, preferred the vocal then and still do today!

hullsoul Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Must admit I'm usually a vocal over inst man when there's a choice.The insts I listed earlier in the thread are genuine insts without vocals but I make an exception to that rule with the inst of The Contemplations(Rock Candy)-Alone With No Love by The Dontee Studio Band(B side of the Contemplations).

Guest Byrney Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 For me an instrumental has to have drama: Guy's plays in the pocket, backstreet and Detroit Rhythm section has drama in buckets. Rip the dance floor up tackle. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

macca Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 The Soulful Two Fi Yi Dance? Pretty much forgotten now, I'll bet. Another big John Vincent instrumental was Audrey Slo Gonna Find The Right Boy on Swan, covered by him as Milton Wright Band Downtown. I know 'cos I bought the bugger off him for a fiver at St. Ives in 1979 still covered up. A proper instrumental, though the vocal is ear piercingly gross...
