Description
Original late 1960s lp on Davjon (DJ 1006)
The Mike Sammes Singers & The Ted Taylor Organsound ‘Hymns A’ Swinging’.
Very scarce u.k.only lp that has become so sought after in recent years.So hard to find,I’m sure Davjon lps were pressed in very small numbers.Many people have been searching for this lp during the last two or three years and copies just don’t turn up.
Incredible tracks that feature Tubby Hayes on tenor sax and flute,Clive Hicks,Ike Isaacs,Cedric West on guitar,Mike Nottingham on bass,Len Clarke on drums and of course Ted Taylor on organ as well as the Mike Sammes singers providing some great vocals and harmonies.
This is an lp that really does live up to the hype,not only is it as rare as hen’s teeth but the music is awesome too.Super funky jazz versions of various hymns and manages not to sound at all cheesy but just kicks all the way,needs to be heard to be believed.
Plenty of beats and loops and some wicked sax and flute playing form the great Tubby Hayes,killer heavy organ solos,crisp drums and bass and tight guitar chops.
Tracks include the killer drum break laden‘Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken’ and ‘Harvest Home’,’He Who Would Valiant Be’,’O Worship The King’ and a wicked percussion driven latin jazz version of ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful’.
A couple of these tracks have appeared on one or two compilations over the last couple of years.So hard to find,if and when this lp does show up it’s never in mint condition.This one is vg+ and it’s in slightly better condition than the copy I sold recently to a collector for £75gbp.I was going to put that copy on ebay but he bit my arm off for the lp before I could say Tubby Hayes.I also sold a vg copy on ebay a few months ago for crazy loot.I know of one dealer in the u.k. who currently has a copy for sale,he’s asking £100gbp.
Record vg+(several scuffs and light surface marks but plays fine without skips or jumps).Sleeve excellent (slight discolourartion on unlaminated back cover)(
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.
