Had the Jonathan Ross show in the car yesterday morning and he played this record called, I think, "Ten Guitars" and although the vocal was a bit cabaret, the backing track was great and Davina says something like "Is this one of your records" meaning is it a record played on the Northern scene, and I said I don't think so, I've never heard it before...anyway it finished and I said that wasn't bad was it, wonder who it was, and Ross introduced it as being by........

I heard it Pete, and you're right I've heard worse.

It's from 1966 and is called "Ten guitars".

Tom Jones amongst others have also recorded it.

Yeah I can imagine old Tom doing it. So if they had a more authentic soul voice on it, it could well qualify!

There's a ska/early rocksteady version of "Ten Guitars" on Studio 1 by the Clarendonians.

And apparently, Engelbert's version was Number 1 for something like 6 months in New Zealand, with "Release Me" not getting a look in (this from Kiwi girfriend of a good mate, haven't checked it for factual accuracy but she was there and I wasn't, so who am I to argue?)

I've got a nice Decca demo of "Release Me"/"Ten Guitars", I'm not in the least bit embarrassed to admit. Picked it up on the same day and in the same shop as my Columbia demo of Frank Ifield's "She Taught Me How To Yodel". Not embarrassed to admit I have that, either...

Heard Lorraine Chandler. Great program that, always very well researched.

You should all the ladies (of all ages) doing The Slosh to this at weddings.

Okay, it's not 'Ten Guitars' in this vid but you get the idea.

Ah yes of course!

He could have gone with Arnie Dorsey, sounds a lot better than that he chose.
