A real astonishing set, presented by Thailands The Cat on their only LP. The title track may be considered Garage, other tracks are reminiscent of the Beatles or other 60s Bands. It is difficult to classify this set as pure Shadow Music (= those Bands from South East Asia, that were influenced by the Shadows extremely successful tour in the 60s thru the region and hence played instrumentals on western instruments with heavy farfisa organ sound like Son of P.M. or Johnny Guitar) even though this is the general feel. I picked 3 stand-out tracks, since my copy had a scratch, so I cannot upload the whole thing anyway. I picked the garage title track "Do the Watusi", a real groovy blaster called "I am gonna be free" (where the singer sounds like a young Big Maybelle or Little Esther) and the Shadow-style instrumental "Torpedo Run". They sing in English BTW! Enjoy!
Oh, man... THIS is wild! Would there be any way that I could plead with you to post the remaining tracks from this fine LP? Who cares about the scratches... if it skips, try cleaning it off with some saliva & your finger. If it still skips, try placing a small, lightweight coin (like a U.S. dime) on the arm of the turntable, above the needle.
ReplyDeleteThanx again.
Hi Timmy, I tried all that ;-) I even put so many coins on it the the headshell nearly touched the record... didn't work... I will upload the LP this weekend!
