    "The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt" is a 1964 instrumental hit by The Shadows, reaching No. 5 on the UK charts. Written by all four band members (Marvin, Welch, Bennett, Rostill), the track features a distinct, dramatic, blues-influenced sound. The title was inspired by the film The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond and an imaginary character invented by actor Richard O'Sullivan.

    Hi Mike - first thanks for putting this together - it's solid and tight all the way through start to finish and with great sound. Bill's playing tied the Collab nicely..From this end it appears the lead guitar might be a bit up front volume wise. My choice of mixing apparatus is Sennhesier HD600 which add no saturation (one reason I picked them up). I'll see if I can come up with an alternatate mix. In the end its your collab please do as you wish.

    Hi Mike, your Backing track has a stretch video format, so all the other tracks will follow that format when publishing. I've made a standard 16:9 backing traack, it's in the draft, awaiting that you agree to make the swap. Cheers!
