Jorgen INGMANN – Apache and Beyond

In the mid 1950s/early 1960s JØRGEN INGMANN was known as 'The Danish Les Paul', as he was the first guitarist in Europe to similarly experiment with multi-layered recording techniques.

Although virtually unknown in Britain, he sold hundreds of thousands of records in mainland Europe, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, and the Far East.

And it's likely that his audacious cover of 'Apache' sold more copies, worldwide, than The Shadows.

Although Ingmann also enjoyed parallel European success as a vocalist (he would win the 1963 Eurovision), this set concentrates entirely on his instrumental recordings.

Included are his contemporaneous international hits, 'Echo Boogie', 'Pepe' (a massive hit in Europe, where it outsold Duane Eddy), 'Anna', '(Hear My Song) Violetta', 'Valencia' and 'Africa'.

The first Jørgen Ingmann CD to be compiled for the UK Instro collectors' market, much of this material is difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
