What would be the most prized instrumental, as in value, raritity etc

Pretty popular, pretty expensive but not very rare: Harlem Rumble

Not as popular, yet cheaper and rarer than Harlem Rumble: Chaumonts - Now you've gone

My fave instrumental at the moment isn't particularly rare etc etc but i'm loving it

Willie Mitchell - Young People

Driving beat and a top record IMO...only paid a fiver for it too :thumbsup:

I think you'll find harlem Rumble is far harder to obtain.

Tough girl Billy arnell

The Dogs Soul Step

Joey Dee How can i forget

Interplay on an issue

The Dogs - Soul Step - Treasure

Produced by John " You're Gonna Miss a Good Thing " Bowie

Excellent choice...not heard it played out in years :thumbsup: ....Delxxxx

One of them niter sounds which just didnt sound right when played in the privacy of home....You Had To Be At A Niter to hear it played well... :thumbsup: ...Delxxx

I'd imagine that "Double Cookin" would be at or near the top of any list like this...

I'm afraid I disagree, had two copies of Harlem Rumble myself and seen it listed every there and then, yet it took me 5 years to get a copy of the Chaumonts and I've only ever seen one other copy anywhere.

But anyway, Tough girl or Michigan Move are far better examples for rare instrumentals...

There are many great instrumentals but the ones that stand out for me are:-

Boogie Man Orchestra - Lady Lady Lady - Boogie Man.

Earl Wright Orchestra - Thumb a ride - Capitol.

Bob & Earl Band - My Little Girl - Mirwood.

Sidra Strings - Sidra's Theme - Sidra.

5 of Kind - The Other side - Sidra.

Regards

Alan

Think i've got this right...Strings a go go- Bob Wilson Orchestrea.....wicked stomping instramental!!!...Delxxxx

Michigan Move if remember rightly taken from master tapes, loads of takes on it.

Rarity wise Carl Fortnum's Bell Sound acetate (??) that he plays out as Frank Foster? sure its an instrumental :g:

Edited by chalky

The Champion Willie Mitchell

On yellow vinyl aswell ! :g: how much ? about 2 bob if your lucky ! :D

not a fan of instrumentals,but this one i do like.

its COOL JERK on the bside of FOUR BROS / LET IT ALL REACH OUT / CARLA,what a version(btw let it all reach out is great dancer with potential which i bot it for).

the best version imho,that can be played out without beign to cheesy.

quite rare as it was ment to be the FOUR PROS,but someone fucked up & put the wrong group name on the record.

think it was withdrawn.

I always liked Pick Up The Pieces...used to get a lot of rotation for me a few years back...I know it's not northern...or even soul for that matter...but it's a great record :thumbup:

Roger and the Pikeys was massive on the Mod Scene about 1985 .................. BRILLIANT IMO

One that had a full floor at the Perth allnighter spun by my good mate Barry Simpsom

Bobbie Gentry walkin backing track capital actate , when capitol cut the vocal it was titled i'm walkin bobby paris . best john sweating down under

you're joking, right? Or is there an instrumental of it?

There was no definition in the title of the thread like only issued instrumentals, so I made a frekin one up :thumbup:

Best yet and worth a bomb.

How about Bill Black's Combo - little queenie? A classic from the real past and as it happens I have a copy of the very rare german London release for sale (very reasonable priced) ... :thumbup:

Wilmer & The Dukes - Get it Baby

Del, this is Simon Soussan's bootleg title (and artist) for the aforementioned "Double Cookin'"....

I would have thought by now somebody would have suggested the greatest ever instrumental, which in my opinion is....

"Exus Trek"

And whilst I am it, what about...

"Rat race"

"Festival time"

"6 by 6"

Not at all rare or expensive but I love Liberty - Girl you better wake up - BASF, it's so uplifting.

Also enjoy Harry Betts - Theme from the fantastic Plastic machine - Epic

gary

Yes, Dalton Boys "Something's bothering you" on VIP - the other side "I've been cheated" got spins as well but "SBY" always rates as one of my faves

Two, I'm currently playing that are tremendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Stokes - Fortune teller - Unissued Alon

Guys From Uncle - Like A Good Girl Should - Unissued Swan

Des Parker

I've always been fond of "California Montage" by the Young Holt Unlimited.

It's a real swirling melody laden instrumental and insanely uplifting.
