Jokeyman123 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Before I impale my ears again-can anybody point me to an XW-P1 sound reasonably close to the old Alan Price Animals lead sound-I think it was an old Farfisa with drawbars but I'm not certain. The British groups used whatever they could get their hands on back then, there weren't many easy-to-carry keyboards back then! The Farfisas were considered "portable" and you could lose a finger assembling the stands, which I think were made with the same stuff as dining room chairs of the time. I looked like a dining room piece. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Seinfeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlenK Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The Farfisa could evidently make a few different sounds, all similar but not exactly the same: But I think the Animal's organ sound was actually from a Vox Continental: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ah-there it is-Vxn Continental-the same company that made all those great British amps, that weren't so great but very popular. I was thinking "Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom" another great organ hook. And "We Gotta Get Out of This Place". Actually almost every cut has a very nice organ riff, hook or solo. One of my favorite of the non-Beatles bands, and the Dave Clark Five. Great bands, great era for music! It still is......(depending upon where you point yourself I guess)........thanks for the clip, I just reviewing my old Animals records, and tapes, and mp3s!!!!!. I am old enough to admit-I watched tnem on Ed Sullivan and was old enough to-well we'll leave it at that! Great organ chops! And look at that great hollow body bass with Chas Chandler! I think it's a Hagstrom. This song still gives me goosebumps, the intensity is still wonderful, even all these years later. And look at Eric Burdon-he looked like he was 16 years old-he was born in 1941 so here he must have been closer to 20 or so-I don't know where this video is from, maybe "Ready-Steady-Go" from the BBC? Or could be Shindig in the USA? Doesn't look like the Ed Sullivan show, but it could be, it's been awhile since I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlenK Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Maybe this works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 OK, downloaded it. Will try it out tomorrow. A hex layer makes sense-will give me some drawbar variations. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
