I don`t have a label scan sorry mate, and can`t remember who did shoop the hoop twine, its the same record though, someone on here will know.

mayfield players considered a classic yet ? if not it should be
 
frantic escape - back in 70s it just sounded ordinary, when revisited it in  later years it sounded like a different record, the way it builds etc etc
wiser ears?

It's the playing on it, they sound demented, really really giving it some.  Wonder if there's a long lost vocal somewhere.

I believe you are correct Michael.(Ian D's on hand with date and time). :thumbup:

Stood the test of time,still sounds great

I`m with Mr Pete Smith on this one, possibly one of the greatest instrumentals ever in my book

 

Me too - and the fact it got picked up by Atlantic must say something about how good it is.

 

The local Pameline release has a louder and fuller sound compared to the Atlantic copies  :yes:

 

Cheers

yep and to me every so often its like they take a side step and then crack on but each time just that bit more  frantic - imagine there's a few musical terms that says it better

 

a vocal would just get in the way    :D

Agreed Mike would take on hell of a lyricist to put vocals to that lol, sounds to me like they were jamming and just came up with something. Fantastic record.

How about this for a forgotten oldie?

 

 

When you play that isn't it "Little Bit Of Soul" not "The Cat Walk"?

 

Cheers

 

Richard

 

Try this for "Little Bit Of Soul"

A few Samantha's sounds

 

Cochise Paul Humphrey

Flasher Mistura

The Trip Dave Mitchell

Are you Ready for This - Brothers (best out of this bunch)

Richard nice track Richard,buts it just goes on and on, for me coming home in the morning, from some donkey orchestra good track billy

Keb playing chaumonts - now you've gone at 100 club completely blew me away. 83-84? Asked him for it a few weeks later "sold it"

My little girl - mirwood

6 x6

This one of my favourites and quite hard to pick up in decent condition

 

Very cool, jazzy style Detroit

 

Cheers

 

Richard

 

Has anyone mentioned Emanons Orchestra - Birdwalking? Not too keen on it personally but been spun at the 100 Club last couple of months . Hadn't heard it in about 35 years.

ever heard this out?  :g:

 

 

other side is the worst record in the world :)

Yes!! Play this out when i get a chance,to good response. Pameline of course. :D

detroit land apples , love that,   the thread has got me thinking, where do sounds like   spooners crowd ,  two in the morning ,   frankie ( loveman ) crocker , ton of dynamite, fit, ?   not strictly instrumentals, but could hardly be considered vocals either, both brilliant by the way. 

when i was young this was my fave.

 

young holt unlimited / califonia montage / brunswick  alsa heard only off kent lp.i could never find a copy then,even tho wasnt dear.

 

 

 

my fave now is  four bros / cool jerk / carla 

 

b-side of let it all reach out...aka four pros but was withdrawn due to wrong group name put on label.cant find a clip & not aloud to put up mp3,note for note same as capitols i think.

Still like this one.

 

Lordy!..... not heard this played out since Wigan.

Jimmy Wisner - Choppin' Around - Atlantic.

Barely known by anyone nowadays.

Old John Vincent cover up.

Incredible.

 

Don't know about a "cover up" always thought it was a known sound - picked one up from Contempo 1971 whilst trying to get a copy of San Remo's - Festival Time which was the biggest Instrumental sound at the time. Was soon overtaken by Cigarette Ashes though.

How about this for a forgotten oldie?

 

 

This is not THE CAT WALK it is the other side LITTLE BIT OF SOUL. When this booted in the early 70's they put the labels on the wrong sides and because most people have got a bootleg they think this is THE CAT WALK even Kev Roberts who put this up on one of his compilations mis-titled it. When it was first played at the Mecca by Tony Jebb it was the other side that got played and it is definitely THE CAT WALK - here it is

 

Here is one I have been pushing for a while now - simply brilliant and a real floor packer in our neck of the woods - plus don't forget The Sounds Of Lane - Tracks to your mind - pisses all over  Hey Sah Lo Ney

another old classic that sounds great out loud and gets a good floor reaction

 

sons of moses - soul symphony - coral

was chatting with carl fortnum the other night, got talking about acetates which he as johnny wyatt - thing called love on the flip is instrumental version

 

nice!!

Yes, I know - see post # 125. I copied it from YouTube without listening to it first   :unsure:

Thinking about it there was a really naff instrumental version of this that came out on an LP not sure if it was ever on a 45 - trying to remember who it was by.

I prefer * Spead*  by the SOUL PARTNERS.

COTTAGE - VOCAL & INST - came out in '76 on Crystal UK - bloody awful mind. I would love to hear the backing track to J Wyatt

Making up time  - The Holidays - Thanks to Jerry Hipkiss for the education to a then callow youth.

 

South Memphis - The Memphians - Thanks to Dave T for having the cojones to play this and many more like it.

 

The Gallop - Milton Wright and the Terra Shirma Strings (Tettragrammaton?) - why has no one mentioned this? It's not a dreaded Top 500 is it?

sons of moses - soul symphony - coral

...or on the local label, Soft. Must admit, I prefer the version by Six Feet Under, 'Soul Over Easy', as it doesn't sound so sparse and the brass is sharper than a knife!
