Guest Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) another old classic that sounds great out loud and gets a good floor reaction 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!

Guest Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I love that thunderous bass-heavy instrumental on a Bell acetate that Carl Fortnum used to play out at the Dome...just says. 'Moods' on the label...a real big hall sound that would fit in the scene during any period...classic NSoul. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Regards Ric F Always loved a good inst. but can't believe it's took 4 pages on this thread to mention Mike Vickers?Has to be up there along with "Harlem Rumble" as one of the best ever.Another one not mentioned yet is Guy's old "Lord Thunder(Blockbusters)-Kayos" C/U,great dancer.Come to think of it Guy's the one for this thread as he's always loved an inst.A lesser known one (well I don't know who it's by?) I've always loved is the inst version of Jean Wells-With My Love & What You've Got played by Andy Rix. I feel I could be here awhile ..... Derek & Ray-Dragnet 67,B side of "Interplay" Life-Cats Eyes Baja Marimba Band - Along Comes Mary Pat Williams Orchestra - Theme From Police Story San Remo Golden Strings Earl Van Dyke Jr.Walker Ramsey Lewis I'm sure I'll be back with more Cheers Martyn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
AlanB Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Not one of the great instrumentals, but I've always liked Bert Keyes - Do Do Do Bah-ah (I also have it as Discotheque Sway by The Players). I think Bari Track is the greatest. Edited March 24, 2013 by AlanB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

sir cumference Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 a mid seventies (74/75) spin was 'new jack theme'- Centuries...it was a Sheffield exclusive i think in that i only ever heard it played by John Vincent..not even the Casino had it..very fast and furious i seem to remember it was covered as the Gladiators 'that Miami sound'.. Definitely played at the Casino at a similar time.Got it on an old tape.Didn`t know what it was called at that time.Mad,mad.mad. Definitely northern,rather than soulful.

Pete S Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Want to part with it? You can pick it up fairly easily on a white label 45 with Barbara McNair on the other side. Just as 'legal' as the emidisc. It's pressed slightly too fast though, in fact all reissues on lp, cd and 45 that I'vr heard seem to be at like 48rpm Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
