A minor but real pleasure is the discovery of an instrumental in a band or singer’s catalogue where singing is an integral part of their sound (ie most rock and pop Mogwai notwithstanding). Often an oddity – Flying and 12-Bar Original are probably two of the more obscure Beatles tracks, never mind the even more buried Cayenne and Cry For A Shadow. So, your instrumental tracks – not instrumental versions of a track that has a vocal version, or a 30-second intro – from artists not known for them. I’ve put one of my very favourite ones from Teenage Fanclub in the comments, as listening to Bandwagonesque again occasioned this thought. Done a brief check of previous posts but if there’s one someone else did please repost.
