Anybody know the release year for this, states 74 on the label but can only see 76 release date on discorgs.

Matrix STA 31977-2

Thanks

May have been recorded 74 and released 76 ? Also maybe released earlier than 76 in Germany

Cheers Paul

Great instrumental. It was about 1976 maybe 1977 when I first heard it at the Casino. Pete Smith or Mark Freeman will know when.  Wasn't it released on Atlantic, can't remember.

This U.K. copy has two release dates '74 and '77. I'm guessing the original came out in 1974 (in Germany?) and was later released in 1977 ??

It was a 74 usa issue played  at the mecca as a new release .

To right Steve a brilliant instrumental right up there with the best for me.     

    

It was an LP track originally released in 1974.

Yes, 1974 on the label. www.45cat also states May 1976

Thanks lads I am in the process of uploading things on to Discogs and hopefully getting them in the right category.
