Awesome Sounds From The 1970-80s

As The Police used to sing, I was ‘Born In The Fifties’ and grew up therefore with a lot of musical bagage from that period; Rock & Roll, Blues, and (much later!) Jazz.
Another genre that stood out were the great instrumentals, remember Johnny & The Hurricanes, The Shadows, The Ventures, Sandy Nelson, Link Wray, Bill Black’s Combo, The Surfaris, a.m.o.?
Most of these were short (2-3 minutes) and to the point, nothing fancy, just a short kick under one's ass!
The much longer progressive rock instrumental suites didn’t do much to me at the time, these just went on and on…
Imagine my surprise upon discovering during the late 70s & early 80s that my favorite kind of instrumentals were appearing here and there, but this time done by groups/artists who were more known for their vocal stuff…

Nine out of ten times these tracks were the odd ones out on an album or ‘hidden’ as a non-album B-side!
Here’s the first volume, most of them focused on the guitar workouts (+ some weirdo’s!) from days gone by, enjoy!
