THE PRECISIONS - WHY GIRL


First off, I'd love to know what instrument is providing the sound during the chorus in this song...Is it accordion???? Harmonica????

Yet another incredible, unsung, Detroit record.

from 1967...

  1. Another superb floor filler Derek!! The instrument used during the chorus is a Melodica, as used by Augustus Pablo (East of The River Nile etc), and was used to teach children music in the Jamaican public school system. Pedantic, moi?

  2. I'm pretty sure it's a melodica, which has a keyboard, but you produce the sound by blowing into it, so it also sounds a bit like a harmonica. Hohner makes them.

  3. YES! Melodica makes perfect sense. I shoulda remembered Augustus Pablo. Thanks all.

  4. Thanks Derek. The quality control department forgot to check the label alignment on this pressing!
