And if anyone wonders: Where on earth is The Incredible Bongo Band's
famous version of "Apache"? I've always liked that groove, but never
liked the brass sound on it, so I had to exclude it. Maybe some version or mix of it
exists where the brass sounds better, but I have yet to hear it. And I have searched
a lot. It's too late now anyway.
Fun fact: Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Paul Mauriat had
recorded a version of "Apache" as early as 1961, long before he achieved world fame
with his "grand orchestre"! I couldn't find the 7" EP available, so I had
to make do with the digital version on the web, which sounds OK. For unknown reasons the title was
changed to "L'amour fait la loi" in France. I have never seen it on any Paul Mauriat compilations.
Btw: My "box set" of Mauriat can still be found here:
