INFO:

Key London members of the flourishing international "Hammond band scene" The Gene Drayton Unit follow up their debut on Butterfly Records with another pair of exciting mid-60's flavoured original instrumentals. A-Side: Due Bottoni. Written by the GDU's Hammond player, Toby Kinder, this is a proper floorfiller. It captures the sound of the sweaty cellar club, with heavy soul drums, driving bass and handclaps giving a real northern soul sound, topped with a delicious slice of fresh Hammond, and plenty of extra Tenor. Add the crisp "ping" of the guitar and Bob's your Dad's brother if you don't have the best "old" record made this year. You can almost picture the Unit up on stage, with the condensation dripping down the walls. The title "Due Bottoni" is a tribute to the de rigeur garment of the moment, the shirt with the high two-buttoned collar. B-Side: Juicy Lucy. The GDU go for the full on 60's boogaloo, and the Blue Note influences ring out loud and clear. The grooving drums supply a fresh backbeat for some strident piano and raucous tenor blowing. The single was recorded all-analog at London's Alaska Studio and is the latest in Butterfly Records' series of limited edition vinyl-only singles, carefully crafted to bring some brightly-colored retro fun to your turntable.
