Here's something I thought we might have a bit of fun with.

In 1960 The Shadows released Apache here in UK which went to number for 6 weeks and prompted 1000's of kids to get guitars and try and form groups like The Shadows, that changed when the Mop Tops came along.

In the US however for some, IMO, inexplicable reason Jorgen Ingmann a Danish guy had the hit version.

Here are three great clips I had never seen until today, one of the earliest vids of The Shadows doing Apache, Jorgen Ingmann vid and also Ventures.

Send me your 1 2 3 to:[email protected] rather than posting on here and I'll publish the results of clough's classic forum Apache poll later.

Give it a week say.

Should it be something like, "who's the best"? Hard to rank, indeed...

Sheena it is simply which version in order of preference you like.

All versions date from same period so a far comparison.

So, are there any results of the voting yet?..

Sheena thanks for asking but there was hardly any voting.

Uh. I see...

Thanks for vote Brian based on the few votes I got Shadows was the favourite version followed by Ingmann and then Ventures.
