    "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.

    yes indeed Mike..I'm so glad we opted to work on this Collab and that we enjoy the same music. The bonus is no vocalist was needed due to the song being an instrumental. I think we all know the challenges on that one!

    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!
