Feb 2010 C90 Side 1

Here is side one of a tape what I made (link below). It is mostly instrumentals. Side two will be songs with singing on them, for the most part.

Laurie Johnson tracks are from The New Avengers

Phenomenal Cat is a Kinks instrumental of the Village Green track. It is... Floydian.

101 Strings Orchestra is a groovy freakout involving a young lady getting a jolly good whipping. I have no doubt she deserved it.

The Byrds prove their Coltrane thing goes all the way up to eleven.

The Dead Weather had the good grace to include a corking instrumental on their debut album.

Big Youth Fights Against Capitalism is heavy dub by King Tubby. It also serves as a tribute to the recenlty deceased Yabby You, my favourite Jamaican renaissance man.

Gene Page - Black + Dracula = Blacula.

United is a Gamble and Huff track here presented in a sumptuous instrumental version WITH HARPS AND THAT.

Duane Eddy jumps on the lunar exploration bandwagon so beloved of instrumentalists and ends up sounding like a Joe Meek protege.

Bill Justis's Flea Circus is on Sun Records. Well I never.

Black + Rio = Black Rio. Bluesy Brazil.

A Sly and Robbie dub with more bass than is really sensible, thank goodness. Nice title too.

Louie Ramirez does another Gamble and Huff tune with lashing and lashings of disco strings swirling around the lation percussion.

Pipeline is the opening track from Johnny Thunders' album with the likes of Phil Lynott and him out of The Only Ones.

That is all. Stay tuned for side two, which I will have to be quick about because it's nearly March.
