Bongo Rock (Epps/Egnoian) - The Incredible Bongo Bandc/w Bongolia (Botkin Jnr.)
1973
Michael Viner organised this troupe from surrounding musicians during down breaks from recording B Movie music. Recording mostly hits of the time but with a lot of percussion - Suits me!
Now famous mostly through early hip hop who sampled them, most notably the 'Apache' break, an extended middle 8 in their version of the 'Shadows' song.
The artists varied according to who was available at the time, and it's rumoured even Ringo Starr played on some recordings. . . . .
