Not an old recording, but it's got "Apache" on it!

In '78 we were in a new house and looking for new audio equipment. I was using Altec-Lansing speakers for some gigs and wanted them for the house. I would go to a very nice high-end audio store, long out of business, and audition speakers with a variety of records. When I played Peaches En Regalia through Altec Model 19's at stage volumes, all the salesguys would run out of the room and not let anyone else in until I was done.

Edit: While I still enjoy listening to some surf & instrumental hit music from time to time, my passion for early Zappa seems to have faded away.

Herb Alpert and the er... Wrecking Crew.

I used to own that LP. Maybe still do, I haven't gone through the collection in a long time.

Duke Levine has been keeping the instrumental pop/rock flame burning around Boston. I think he’s about to release an album or EP of 70’s tunes.

Ray Bryant played on the Dizzy Gillespie-Sonny Rollins-Sonny Stitt version and did a solo version.
West Coast blueman Pee Wee Crayton recorded it as "After Hours Blues" in 1948

Only one mention of Duane Eddy - that's quite strange...
Regarding Freddy King one more time: I always had a couple of his instrumentals under my belt as a guitar feature number in our band back in the day. "Sidetracked" was one of my favourites:
"The Sad Nite Owl" always reminds of "Blue Monk":
Earl Hooker anyone? The other King of guitar instrumentals in the blues genre:

The Humbler - Danny Gatton

Cool!

Spoken intro, yeah, but still an instrumental. Eddie Hazel's guitar work here is beloved by many.
