Pete S Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I had one that was popular and pretty good on british polydor called -ring the changes by paradox, maybe the other way round it was a pretty wobbly time for me! Anyway, story had it there were only two copies, bought mine from Guy Henigan and most Rev Tony Clayton bought it from me. Never saw another copy before or since All time fave instrumentals would include -on the road to ruins by earl wright, baritrack and exus trex. Had a few copies of Paradox but I also discovered the vocal version!

MrsWoodsrules Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Don't really do it for me personally but the archetypal instrumental for me would have to be Frankie Crocker. Would East Coast Connection qualify for an instrumental? Don't know why, but I aways considered it one, but its actually not? Just feels like one if you know what I mean, kind of a cross between a vocal & instrumental, another that feels like that is Lonnie Liston Smith Expansions. Does an instrumental have to have no vocals? Food for thought. Aid. p.s, quite like the Betty Boo instrumental. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A comment from the opening post from the topic starter ; i ill open with the most popular being checkerboard squares?

Pete Eccles Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Fair enough. Coming next: OVO, good thing or bad. Just to clear things up here, if all the contributions were obscure semi/unknown instrumentals I wouldn't have mentioned 'Bari Track' and wouldn't normally post in these types of thread anyway, Instead I read almost 2 pages of lists of readily known tracks following on from the topic starters request, and mentioned I was surprised at the absence of 'Bari Track' No biggie really Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
