ANORAX sticks to it's' #eatsleepmantra with the reissue of the perennially in demand 'Tighten Up' by Melbourne soul disciples The Bamboos.The track - a catchy as you like instrumental slant on the Archie Bell & The Drells USA #1 million selling smash from 1968 - was originally released in 2006 on Kenny Dope and Keb Darge's KAY-DEE label.It immediately became a favorite in Soul & Acid Jazz circles, and it's popularity rapidly spread. The Bamboos main man LANCE FERGUSON showed genius by ditching the idea of vocals and lyrics in a composition hailed by Rolling Stones magazine 'as one of the greatest songs of all time' and instead coming up with the quirky and irresistible instrumental we all love. Funky flute anyone?The Kay Dee 45 was reissued some years ago but enduring demand has outstripped supply. Limited edition press so grab 'em while you can....TracklistingA. Tighten UpB. The Witch
