I thought that was it ,never heard of any other

I may be dreaming as it is many moons since I had copies to compare directly, but isn't the drumming on the St.Clair copies harsher/better than the HBR release?

:lol:

What is a Fife Piper anyway?

Well Fife is in Scotland, so a Fife Piper is a bagpipe player I presume

my hbr copy is same but with a blue label

how much does the four sharps version go for?

The Blue HBR is the Stock Copy.

The Four Sharps on Cameo can be found for a few dollars on ebay, but not that often.

I have seen a Red/Black Coloured Cameo DEMO.

A Fife being an instrument akin to a Flute, but smaller,like a Piccolo.

You're right, it is the red/black Pye with a yellow demo.

"did they beat the drum slowly? did they play the fife lowly?

did they sound the death march as they lowered him down?"

from the green fields of france - an anti war song...

I think a fife is a kind of tin whistle or flute, like the one that

can be heard on the record. A great jazz flavoured tune that used to

be 'well big' long before we got hung up about genres, right?

should ave been called the "picollo piper".. :D ..better ring to it :D

Yeah, but it doesn't sound like a bagpipe. :lol::P

I have two versions by the Dynatones, they are 'nearly' identical, 'cept a few sections, notably the last 10 seconds (I know, who gives a sh#t, but it just bugs me). I'll get them posted and you can judge for yourselves!

Funny how The Four Sharps just sounds like a more jazzy avant-garde version of The Dynatones tune, never seen that one before are they the same band.

Is this what's being blown.
