In The Trashcan
Records GARBAGE178 |
|||
1.
the repeater - (unknown) Swingin' jazz instrumental. |
9. the jolly green giant - (unknown) We all know the Kingsmen's hit single, but they stole the tune and changed the lyrics. It's actually "Big boy Pete" by Don & Dewey, recorded in 1959. I have no idea who recorded this great instrumental version. |
||
2.
honky tonk - (unknown) A honky tonk instrumental called Honky Tonk, originally recorded in 1956 by Bill Doggett and covered thousands of times. |
10. she's not there - (unknown) What a great instrumental version of the Zombies' 1964 hit single. |
||
3.
the sidewinder - (unknown) Originally a Blue Note recording by Lee Morgan from 1963 and the blueprint for Buddy Rich's version of Sonny Bono's "The beat goes on". |
11. say what - (unknown) Another instrumental version by a completely unknown outfit. It's hard not to move when listening to these sounds. |
||
4.
wiggle wobble - (unknown) No, not the same version to be found on vol 177, which is to dance the frug. This is a jerk. Also a terrific instrumental version. |
12. good old mountain dew - (unknown) Good old C&W tune, often played with a banjo, gets a mid-60s treatment by a beat band with horns. |
||
5.
that old black magic - (unknown) This evergreen was originally performed by Johnny Johnson in the movie "Star Spangled Rhythm" in 1942. Also Marilyn Monroe sang it in the 1956 movie "Bus stop". Who this is… I really don't know, but I like their rendition. |
13. watermelon man - (unknown) I love each and every version of "Watermelon man", the best song Herbie Hancock has ever written. He wrote it in 1962. This groovy instrumental version is one of the best I know. |
||
6.
shout - (unknown) Fast R&B version of The Isley Brothers' first hit from 1959. Including saxophone and organ. |
14. teen beat '65 - (unknown) Of course the original was recorded by Sandy Nelson himself. This version, however, is wilder. |
||
7.
louie louie - (unknown) One of the million Louie Louie versions, this is a great haunting instrumental. |
15. sticks & stones - (unknown) Oh yes, do the swim with me and enjoy these "Sticks and stones" instrumental version. |
||
8.
louie louie - (unknown) And here's another one. Also an instrumental, but with a different vibe, closer to the original. |
16. california sun - (unknown) Joe Jones was the first to record this classic, in 1961. Two years later The Rivieras scored a massive hit. This is a fine instrumental version with a leading organ. |
