Ok, I'm sure I'm late coming to this one, but a little dig in Rob's yesterday netted a studio 2 gem from 1965 featuring Norrie Paramor doing Latin covers of Shadows tracks...and, by god, it doesn't half groove. The Rise & Fall Of Flingel Bunt is a now sound monster, with hammond, drums, horns & percussion all going beserk & the ultra-dull Apache is kitted out with the same plus tubular bells...Ok, it gets a bit cheesy in places, but I'm finding myself listening to this one all the way through...
Two questions, though: 1) who is playing hammond on this set (surely Norrie's orchestra didn't bring its own? they must've traded all the strings for one...is it Pearson?) and 2) apart from this and 'Law Beat', are there any other groovy/funky Paramor LPs out there to discover? To be getting this groovy this early must mean there wasn't a full 9 year gap between good LPs...surely?
