Ad Rhythm records...

I'm curious to know if there are any more records from this label that are worth finding...

Already have Baldwin Soul by Hal Vincent ( all good ), Hammond dance Party by Tony Back ( soul organ 70 & Finger trouble, break? on Eleanror Rigby ) & Electric Organs Today Vol 2 sampler ( tracks by Vincent, Beckingham and Stoneham ).

So what's next / essential...

Anyone got / heard John Dales - Latin Hammond ?, the Harry Stoneham LP's?, Tony Back dance party vol 2...?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this has been covered before...

Respect

Harry Stoneham's 'Lowrey Organ - Superb' and 'Two Fellas To Follow' both feature an awesome funky hammond version of 'Comin' Home Baby', and are on the Ad-Rhythm offshoot 'Teepee' label.

'Baldwin Soul' duly seconded, top drawer business.

I do know of another Ad Rhythm LP that's meant to be pretty good, but as I've not copped one yet it's staying SS for now I'm afraid. I may be able to provide an update shortly..

And an interesting fact, pop pickers, is that the hook from this cut also provided a young Quantic with the break on his very first record, 'Fresh Rhythm' on Breakin' Bread.

I've got the John Dales one - I love it, personally, but it's probably a bit 'easy' for most people here. Depends on your tastes, really.

Tony Back's stuff is excellent - I mentioned the well worth picking up 'Hammond Hits Back' on another thread recently, and there's also one of him playing the Lowrey Spectravox which has a high-speed version of 'Michelle' with some great drums, though the actual organ itself is a bit cheap sounding!

Ad-Rhythm also did about three or four EPs of drum tracks for organists to play along to - nothing illsickmad etc on them, though.

I really like Koichi Oki's 'Yamaha Superstar' album. The version of Light My Fire is brilliant I reckon...

The Electronic organs of Jean Pierre Sabar is worrth looking out for some nice Gainsbourg tunes played well.

Theres a series of 'drums alone' EP's which have there moments.

Didn't Ad-rhythm release something by one of those 70's folky type bands? - can't for the life of me remember who.

Yamaha Superstar.

I'm with Jimmy. The LP's got a 'classic' listing 'Look Of Love' 'Spinning Wheel' (natch) 'My Sweet Lord' 'Light My Fire' ....plus a bit of Latin 'Felicidad and the mad 'Tchaikovsky One'. Good value.

I got baldwin soul, dance party 3 by tony back and the golden sampler LP, I love this label (what I've heard of it) If i ever see an AD rhythm in a charity shop I have to pick it up. I hear that there is another sampler LP with gatefold cover that has a lot of the other Ad rhythm LP's pictured inside it, 'organ show case' I think?

Im keen to get a copy of that koichi ochi LP I have only heard the version of 'look of love' featured on the golden sampler LP.

very dark sounding

Anyone heard the lowrey holiday LP? I know its got a very spaced out 'hawaiian shores' track on it

any one know much about the GROSVENER label?

Electronic Organs Today Vol. 2

I hear that there is another sampler LP with gatefold cover that has a lot of the other Ad rhythm LP's pictured inside it, 'organ show case' I think??

It's called 'Electronic Organs Today Vol.2' and has 54 other Ad-Rhythm LP's pictured (40 in the middle and 14 on the back). Well worth getting.

(I got lucky with the 'golden' Vol.1 and No.2 the same day at a booter near Rayners Lane...very, very close to North Harrow where A-R were based).
Made my day

Yeah, they put out the classic Birmingham album. A rather tasty and hard to find rock LP (see my 'Lose Yourself' Xmas mix for further details). Other than I've only found horrible organ records although ther's bound to be a few good ones. I think I have a vaguely groovy version of the Star Trek theme on one somewhere.

On Ad-Rhythm 'A Fresh Look At Love' by Tony Back has a killer version of 'Scarborough Fair' with seriously decent drums. Kind of electronic and funky and nice. I think Lee's a big fan of this one too.

[soundsville]

Are there any other Koichi Oki albums?

WORD! I love it.

I've got a spare Adrhythm 'Electronic Organs Today Vol 2' which can be free (well, for p&p) to a good home. If anyone fancies it drop us a line.
