Last tango in paris

[Funky Tee]

I'm a big fan of this incredible track.

Ive managed to pick up versions by the following:

-Roberto Delgado
-Max Greger
-SoftIce
-Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass
-Gato Barbieri

Any other good versions?

The Pete Winslow isn't too shabby at all... got a spare if you want it.

[Belson]

Blue Mitchell on Mainstream

[alanmck]

and for something a little more modern (heretical, i know) why not try the gotan project version on their "la revancha del tango" set.

[chrisvulture]

dont forget Herr James...not a bad one either!

[bboy parkz]

Reuben wilson has done a very nice version, in fact Im gonna dig it out now and give it a play

Ricardo, His Saxophone & Orchestra 'Last Tango In Paris' LP on Pickwick, 1973.

This is a great version with lovely percussive beats, low, grinding bass and ace sax blasts & squeals - it's got a really live, spaced-out jazz sound. Unfortunately the rest of the LP bears almost no resemblance whatsoever to the title track and is pretty dull.  

Definitely worth a punt for Last Tango though.

Chicken Curry and his Percussion Pops Orchestra do a decent one (basically El Chicles under a different name, I believe) that was used on the BBC test card.

It's weird that there are so many good versions of this tune, and then I find the original is something of a disappointment.
Perhaps it's just because Pete Winslow's was the first version I heard, and it spoilt me......

[Raj Mann]

Ocho did a nice version on their 2nd album, the one with the pool table on the front.

[MikeFree]

There's also an ill version by Julio Gutierrez

that Pete Winslow version turned up at a booter yesterday. starts off crap and then goes very good - nice tip, cheers!

[Lord Thames]

I forgot to add Albert Hall's version on the Studio 2 LP 'Albert Hall's Grand Slam'. I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this LP before - loads of brass and Harry Stoneham does some brilliant solos. Well worth looking out for.

If you do a gemm search on the title and chose seven inch.
There are versions by Mongo Santamaria and El Chicano,
anyone heard theese versions? I can't believe they are all bad
