Ingman Jorgen - Apache and Beyond (CD)
€13,00Quick ViewIn the mid 1950s/early 1960s JØRGEN INGMANN was known as ’The Danish Les Paul’, as he was the first guitarist in Europe to similarly experiment with multi-layered recording techniques.
Although virtually unknown in Britain, he sold hundreds of thousands of records in mainland Europe, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, and the Far East.
And it’s likely that his audacious cover of ’Apache’ sold more copies, worldwide, than The Shadows.
Although Ingmann also enjoyed parallel European success as a vocalist (he would win the 1963 Eurovision), this set concentrates entirely on his instrumental recordings.
Included are his contemporaneous international hits, ’Echo Boogie’, ’Pepe’ (a massive hit in Europe, where it outsold Duane Eddy), ’Anna’, ’(Hear My Song) Violetta’, ’Valencia’ and ’Africa’.
The first Jørgen Ingmann CD to be compiled for the UK Instro collectors’ market, much of this material is difficult to find elsewhere on CD.

Carlisle Cliff - Mouses’ Ears and Barnyard Metaphors 1930-1937 (CD)
€13,00Quick ViewThese are Vintage (1930s) Country recordings, comprising risqué, double-entendre songs and others of a similar ilk, with plenty of yodelling – effectively, the po’ white trash equivalent of pre-war Blues.
While Country artists chasing mainstream acceptance were generally cautious, CLIFF CARLISLE routinely ignored the boundaries that had been drawn in the sand.
Indeed, Carlisle was perhaps the man for whom the concept ’Non-PC’ might have been invented.
And in an era when Blues musicians routinely sang ’risqué’ material, heavy with innuendo, he gave them a run for their money.
This compilation draws from the seedier side of Cliff’s recorded legacy, concentrating on his ’earthy’ repertoire.
He sings, joyously, of his little mama’s ’mouses’ ear’ (and boasts of ’hauling her ashes’), of ’barnyard sex’ (Cliff was fascinated by the activities of cocks and pussies), of ’wild cat mamas’ and ’pay-day fights’, the horror of being ’married alive’, and much, much more.
