Bonkers one this. A few years ago there was single from the film Dr
Terror's House Of Horror that lots of people wanted. It was issued
by CBS. Lots of people wanted it all because they all thought it was
this bit of music, from the scene where Roy Castle and the Tubby
Hayes Quintet play the Voodoo track. Watch this clip if you can be
arsed, and the whole infamous scene starts at about 4.50 (and
please note Jimmy Deuchar's Mellophonium).
However, when one copy of this rare single surfaced (and sold later
for about ú800 a week before it was bootlegged) everyone realised
it was a bit crap, and had Roy Castle singing on it, when all anyone
really wanted was the instrumental afro voodoo number.
Fast forward to mid 2009, and out of nowhere I get an email from a
good jazz man known as Simon Spillett. He is overseeing the
recently unearthed Tubby Hayes archive. This is a set of reels and
records taken care of first by Tubby's mother, and then later
passed on to Tubby's last girlfriend. In amongst these reels is the
original session for this super Voodoo scene.
Simon emailed me the tracks, and I got extremely excited - it was
the killer tune, the missing music that music people have been
waiting for. A few weeks later the tracks were remastered, and a
very limited 7" ep was designed, the idea being to make sure we
can make enough money so Tubby's girlfriend can afford to fly
abroad and see her family.
Limited to 666 copies.
