Pete S Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well if Saxy Russell is playing the wailing sax you can hear on the record, who is it doing the vocals then, cos he can't be doing both at the same time and I doubt it was recorded on multi track!

Saxie Russell is definitely the vocalist. He has another record on randee but there aren't really vocals to compare, only chanting. His real name was vernon taplin. He has a few writing credits on other random records (e.g. luci and tim on gamma). nobody I know has been able to find him. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Quite possible part 2 is the instrumental (cut 1st?) and the vocals added over it btw its Saxie on my copy is it a boot? lol Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 There's actually a part 3 of this, someone came on here years ago with an acetate of it for sale, different to parts 1 & 2, mainly instrumental, I did record it but it's got lost over time Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It came from Stormy (guy on twinight). He is the cowriter on the track (John Colley). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 is that "el monkey" or something similar for the title. yes. in chicago much more common than the thomas release, which is impossible to find. the thomas record must have been all exported to the UK.

Ernie Andrews Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The Thomas release also had the Label name as TOMAS and is apparantly quite rare! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
