Russoul1 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) hi all, lately have got hold of a couple of tunes that are better as instrumentals than the vocal sides, I know we have had a thread regards instrumentals but im thinking tunes that have vocals which don't do the backing track justice, if you get my drift...... the couple that I have in mind to start, both recent buys audrey slo - gonna find the right boy - swan ok yes this does have a vocal & instro but defo prefer the instru side secondly, a tune which as a awfull vocal imo sadly mistaken - golden earrings - marc or challenge picked up a 66 acetate instro of this tune which if we where in the mid 70s 80s would be a dancefloor filler imo also the flip of this acetate is a unissued instrumental which again would have been a dancefloor winner in the instrumental hey days have put a link to the above on post 23.for soundfiles any other suggestions guys russ Edited January 26, 2014 by russoul1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Liberty "Girl You Better Wake Up" Cheers Paul The soul man in me thought no way can that be the case, but actually all pretty good examples that cannot be argued with**, SWON ** Other than Blowing My Mind, in my opinion obviously I actually have a soft spot for the Liberty 45. Although I realise I risk opprobrium and accusations of terrible, outdated taste, I think that if you take an objective view and disregard issues of value, rarity etc, there's not a massive difference in the singing of Liberty and say, The Anderson Brothers. *slips on favourite tin hat* 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A great instrumental of a terrible rock & roll record. Ronnie & Robin - Sidra's Theme is is way better without the awful vocal!

'How Can I Forget - Joey Dee & The New Starlighters' Think the Starlighters are an early incarnation of the 'Young Rascals'.. Certainly the Young Rascals formed out of the Starliters, but I never realised until a couple of years ago that they were multi-racial which caused some problems :-)...interesting article here...https://www.toppermost.co.uk/joey-dee-starliters/ Edited January 26, 2014 by Jerry Hipkiss 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Rich B Posted January 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I get the northern fascination with instrumentals, and in some case they work, but Jesse Fisher without Jesse Fisher? Lew Kirton without Lew Kirton? c'mon guys! Liberty without Liberty though - no brainer as Kev Bacon would say! ps" I miss my baby" vs. "Bari track"? When you hear either, as you step onto the dance floor it's like throwing yourself off a cliff - exhilarating!
