Guest skorpiano Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Anyone know how many versions of 'The Fife Piper' are out there?
Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have one by the Dynatones on ST.CLAIR. . . anymore ??
Bazza Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have one by the Dynatones on ST.CLAIR. . . anymore ?? I thought that was it ,never heard of any other Bazza
Anoraks Corner Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I may be dreaming as it is many moons since I had copies to compare directly, but isn't the drumming on the St.Clair copies harsher/better than the HBR release?
Denbo Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Anyone know how many versions of 'The Fife Piper' are out there? What is a Fife Piper anyway?
Pete S Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 What is a Fife Piper anyway? Well Fife is in Scotland, so a Fife Piper is a bagpipe player I presume
davidwapples Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 my hbr copy is same but with a blue label how much does the four sharps version go for?
45cellar Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) my hbr copy is same but with a blue label how much does the four sharps version go for? The Blue HBR is the Stock Copy. The Four Sharps on Cameo can be found for a few dollars on ebay, but not that often. I have seen a Red/Black Coloured Cameo DEMO. Edited July 17, 2008 by 45cellar

Citizen P Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 What is a Fife Piper anyway? Somebody that plays a Fife A Fife being an instrument akin to a Flute, but smaller,like a Piccolo. ATB Tony
Pete S Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 the fife piper,the dynatones also came out on uk pye in 1966,im sure my copy is the red/black pye label ive not played it for years heard this first in the early 70s, You're right, it is the red/black Pye with a yellow demo.
macca Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 "did they beat the drum slowly? did they play the fife lowly? did they sound the death march as they lowered him down?" from the green fields of france - an anti war song... I think a fife is a kind of tin whistle or flute, like the one that can be heard on the record. A great jazz flavoured tune that used to be 'well big' long before we got hung up about genres, right?
Mach Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 should ave been called the "picollo piper".. ..better ring to it
Denbo Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Well Fife is in Scotland, so a Fife Piper is a bagpipe player I presume Yeah, but it doesn't sound like a bagpipe.
Denbo Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Somebody that plays a Fife A Fife being an instrument akin to a Flute, but smaller,like a Piccolo. ATB Tony Well I'll be blowed. (not that kind Tony!!!)
Guest skorpiano Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I have two versions by the Dynatones, they are 'nearly' identical, 'cept a few sections, notably the last 10 seconds (I know, who gives a sh#t, but it just bugs me). I'll get them posted and you can judge for yourselves!
Prophonics 2029 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Funny how The Four Sharps just sounds like a more jazzy avant-garde version of The Dynatones tune, never seen that one before are they the same band. Is this what's being blown. Edited September 16, 2008 by Prophonics 2029
