Description
Original 1966 lp on Ember (EMB 3366)
The Mark Wirtz Orchestra & Chorus ‘Latin A Go-Go’.
Rare u.k. only lp from Mark Wirtz and the band lineup is Jim Sullivan,Vic Flick,Eric Ford,Reg Guest and Dougy Wright.Vocals are by Barbara Moore,Maggie Stredder,Gloria George and Marian Davis.Layered wordless harmonies and scatting all over the place.
So many wicked tracks on this lp I don’t really know where to start!
Every track is top quality,here is the tracklisting:Watermelon Man,More,Comin Home Baby,Sunday Night,Riviera Carnival,Beyond The Horizon,Tennesse Waltz,Adventure,Yeh Yeh,Don’t Do It baby,Yesterday’s Laughter Toaday’s Tears,I’m So Lonely I Could Cry.
Incredible sound from start to finish ranging from funky beats with layered harmonies and scatting,smooth bossa rhythms with more wordless harmonies,beaty go go style tunes with lovely scatting over the top.Great crisp drums,percussion,flute,organ,keys and horns.If I really had to pick a favorite track I guess I’d choose the version of Comin Home Baby but as I say,all the tracks are quality.
If you like Voices In Latin and Jumping Jacques then this lp is essential and in my opinion this is better than those two put together.Incredible stuff and so so scarce.
Record excellent+(just a couple of paper scuffs).Sleeve excellent (very small tear on back cover,see scan).I accept Paypal in u.k.£’s,Registered Cash,Personal Cheques and Postal Orders from u.k.,IMO’s in u.k. £’s.Buyer pays postage £2.50 u.k.,£3.50 Europe, anywhere else actual cost.
