Quite a few popular tunes where the instrumental is better IMHO...........Exus Trek as an example.....

Big one for me though.....the Kaddo Strings on Impact kicks Duke Browner vocal into a cocked hat I think....as does the Tan Soul version of Hey America..........

Sorry if it's been done before........

I always thought it was but someone posted up a vocal/inst demo recently, unless I dreamt it

demo has vocal both sides, black stock copies vocal/instr

I know Grant, I've been preaching that since the year dot, except someone came up with a vocal/inst demo recently

Always loved the HONEY TOWNSEND--WORLD AGAIN Instumental much better than WHAT SHALL I DO In My Opinion.

Talking of Stafford, does anybody prefer the vocal by David Walker (I think) to:-

Paradox - Ring The Changes - Polydor. Des Parker

Never actually been a great lover of instrumentals myself and the only 3 I’ve ever regularly danced to over the years have been “Exus Trek”, NF Porter and Stanley Mitchell.

Was at a good mates house a few months ago and he showed me one of his new purchases — Paradox on UK Polydor — was quite surprised really as he doesn’t collect British or instrumentals.

Vaguely remembered reading (from Pete Smith I think) about a vocal to it but couldn’t recall any more details. Last release on UK black RCA design or summat?

And when I heard it I couldn’t believe just how bad it was.

the vocal of this is ace,,,,,what i see.................fab chooon....

I love insties, too. At a rough guess, about 25% of everything played at Station Rd.

The Explosions' instie of Sam & Kitty's ' I've got something good' was A1.

Hav we had this one yet.......

s.o.u.l ..........burning spear ...........the ultimate instrumental end

here's one you don't hear STONEY FACE---THE STAR FIRES great instrumental that was played back in the day.

Play this out every so often, always gets a good reaction

I always thought it was but someone posted up a vocal/inst demo recently, unless I dreamt it

there is a black canadian issue (same design as the pink demo) that has vocal/instr so may be the confusion Pete?
