More Soul

More “soul” from the Elite Boys, these supposedly French cats. And it´s another mixed bag of pop tunes/cover versions released by the Swedish Gala record club in the late 60s: more Tom Jones – Delilah; an instrumental version of Bobby Goldsboro´s Honey; Mohair Sam, a hit for Charlie Rich in 1965; Baby come back a hit for the Equals in 1968; an instrumental version of Otis Redding´s The dock of the bay and an early hit by the Bee Gees from 1966, Spicks and specks.
I know it´s not the most original choice of material to post and I promise to dig a little deeper in the future but meanwhile just listen to the funny little accents:
THE ELITE BOYS, Baby come back
THE ELITE BOYS, The dock of the bay
THE ELITE BOYS, Spicks and specks
About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
I thought these were really good posts. Why did you apologize?
I’m not sure if I would file most of these tracks under “Soul,” but I guess things were different in Sweden.
I guess, even though I really like these records budget records, I still feel defensive because I KNOW more sophisticated music fans and collectors will only shake their heads. But you´re right: Why apologize?
