Heya,
Yeah there are tons of versions of this Earl Hagen classic. A couple
of choice ones are the King Curtis version --a small combo with
Curtis' killer sax, Lounge Lizards -- loose and scrappy and a neat
small band version by Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet which of
course they named something else (which unfortunately doesn't come to
mind. Also worth listening to is the Spike Jones big band version
which is available in an UltraLounge collection. The Ventures version
your talking about is around (you might be able to find it on e-music)
but frankly didin't knock me out. The best thing I can say about it is
that its guitar friendly--in the people's key of E.
===>Actually, I think the version done by Satan's Pilgrims is in F minor.
Haven't
heard any other versions before.
WAIT! Are we talking about HARLEM Nocturne or HAREM Nocturne? I'm
talking about HAREM Nocturne....
Anyone familiar with the tune, "Surf Bat," by original ghoul-rockers, 45 Grave?
I'm actually in the middle of recording a cover of it right now. Their album,
_Sleep in Safety_, is essential for fans of the ghoul-rock genre (like The
Cramps).
