Chicago Cubs - Pennant Fever

[Guest ScooterNik]

I've had this sat at the back of one of my boxes for some time, it's on either Chess or Checker (it's been a while since I've dragged it out, but the Chess demos thread has reminded me about it)

Does anyone know anything about it? I assume its the baseball team singing it, but that's all I can tell apart from its a version of the classic 'Fever'.

Oh, and to be fair, its pretty crap though IIRC the other side 'Slide' is a pretty good organ driven instrumental

Its the 1969 team singing Pennant Fever but its The Slide (Instrumental on the B Side) that is worth playing (if you like Hammond Instrumentals that is!!).

Usually goes for around £8!

Thats about £7.50 more than I paid, but its still staying sat at the back... Novelty records, don't you love them?

I have a 25 count box, intact in its original chess box stamped with serial number etc.. will try to dig it out and photograph it..

Good hammond inst , used to sell well on my record stall in the 90s; £8 about right...

And I think 2nd baseman was lead vocal (or at the forefront)

bit early to be Rhine Sandberg so not sure who off the Cubbies team that year. Agree flipside better, nice Mod type Hammond instrumental.
