The Bamboos | Tighten Up / The Witch
A006F
Tracklist:
Anorax sticks to its’ mantra with the reissue of the perennially in demand Tighten Up by Melbourne soul disciples The Bamboos.
The track - a catchy as you like instrumental slant on Archie Bell & The Drells USA #1 million selling smash from 1968 - was originally released in 2006 on Kenny Dope and Keb Darge’s KAY-DEE label but ran out quickly.
It immediately became a favourite in Soul & Acid Jazz circles, and it’s’ popularity rapidly spread across all dance genres …genius by ditching the idea of vocals and lyrics in a composition hailed by Rolling Stones magazine “as one of the greatest songs of all time” and instead coming up with the quirky irresistible instrumental we all love. Funky flute anyone?
