B1 The Killergroove Formula - Peter Gunn (Turntable 3:33
Detective) (Extended Mix)
Coinciding with the release of Volume 9 in the successful CD compilation series
Music For Modern Living here is the DJ companion, selected by compilers and
label owners Mellow & Rivera.
Tom Jones' "The Lonely One" and The Killergroove Formula's "Peter Gunn
(Turntable Detective)" are a 60s soul bunrer and a 21st century retro breaks
slammer, sitting perfectly next to each other on this 12inch vinyl, released as
part 3 in the series MFML Classics. "The Lonely One" (1967) by Tom Jones is a
forgotten, but extremely effective swingin' and shakin' dancefloor burner, only
available as a B-side of the Decca 7" "I'm coming home" ... until now. Written
by the unmistable Gordon Mills, who already wrote "It's not unusual" especially
for Jones in 1965 and scored a massive worldwide hit. Conducted by the legendary
Johnny Harris and produced by Peter Sullivan "The Lonely One" gets the floor
moving.
The Killergroove Formula chose "Peter Gunn (Turntable Detective)", originally
conceived by Henry Mancini for the US TV series "Peter Gunn" in 1958. Lars
Moston, AndrΘ Nentwig and Jens "Der Wolf" Albert, the ever active breaks crew
from Mⁿnster/Germany, breathe life back into television detective Peter Gunn.
Note the funky theme - it is an original sample from the East German beat combo
Franke Echo Quartett from the sixties, proving the underground was surely
swinging in those dark communist days of the German Democratic Republic!
