Dave Pike Jetset
thinking ahead to this Months Watusi and leaning towards an Organ/Jazz type set. Pulled this one off the shelf last night and it went straight into the Play box. Had heard of this ditty for a number of months via the LP that was reissued sometime ago but as i am not particularly an LP man i decided to hold off until i could nab the 45. eventually i found one on the net – paid a few dollars for it and waited. Eventually got it in the door and it was totally worth the wait. Always been a sucker for vibes so when the first few bars hit i knew this one was gonna be a winner. theres some nice chunky brass work in there, a sleazy Organ working overtime, rumbling bass and scorching guitar and with its dancefloor friendly beat i knew it would fit perfectly with the Watusi ethos. think youtube has this listed so head over and check it out. As i say the Lp has been reissued and there are plenty of them on the Bay – saw a few original presses of the Lp on the bay and if memory serves its not that pricey, think in region of 80 -100 dollars. nice image on the front of a sixties ‘space age’ girl
