Apache - The Orchestral Version

[royclough]

Orchestral version of the classic Apache which for some reason I still don't get, wasn't a hit for The Shadows in USA, they bought a far inferior version IMO by Jorgen Ingmann.

This is taken from a rare Album of orchestral arrangments of Jerry Lordan's tracks, Lordan wrote Apache.

Mr Rickenbacker will like this I am sure

Roy: What a gem you have pulled out from the archives. I have never heard this arrangement before and it really brings the genius of Lordon to light. The harmonies in this orchestra version are outstanding. The arrangement has a complexity about it that cannot be achieved with three guitars and drums.

I love the sound of the double bass and the tympani which take this version to another level. Also, the guitar remains in the arrangement with a tonality that rivals the famous James Bond theme.

I would love to have this version in an mp3 should you find it in your cannon of classics.
