AND IN A DESERT OF NON BRITISH INSTRUMENTAL RELEASES! A OASIS FOR SILVER SURFERS LOOKING FOR
THOSE ELUSIVE NON SHADOW TRACKS FROM THE 5O'S & 60'S.
I found this an excellent CD, the most comprehensive of his Instrumental productions. There are a few dodgy tracks as there are with all his work.But 60 tracks for under £10 is outstanding value, it also has a very good booklet.
Yet another filler for us obsessive nerds concerning the "British Phil Spector". You will be better advised spending your money on the Tornado's compilation CD's which were the peak of Joe's work in this area. There are one or 2 intriguing rarities - notably "phantom Hussar" which could almost be summoned from the ether at one of Joe and Geoff Goddard's ouija sessions and Dave Rowlands' Besame Mucho which is a catchy, almost punk-like arrangment that should have been rerecorded with vocals instead of the virtually drowned-out pianist. Otherwise, you've heard all the best stuff before and you could happily survive without hearing the rest. Joe's quality control button often went amiss during his career. The notorious tea-chest tapes may contain even worse dross.
