Stormy Weather vocals were sampled from the original recording by The Zircons in 1964, Mario Ibanez's led Bronx, NY group. I had inadvertently told Steven Paglierani that it was the Five Sharks version. The sampling was 'lifted" from Relic Records Best Of Acappella - Vol 1 LP. Fats Comet also sampled material from our Citadels and a Youngones' recording, "lifted" from Vol 2, for his "Bop Bop" recording. Misinformation spewed from Breackachy and eponymist is blatantly and totally wrong.
searched for this 30 fucking years stuck in the head... after Andrea 'Enthal broke tackhead in the 80s to LA, at least when i was listening at 2am.. damn song stuck in the head for 30 years after one play
Tackhead and Mark Stewart at Axis - best show I saw there. Gary Clail and the Tackhead Sound System were at DV8 4-5 months later - kind of a letdown without Wimbush/MacDonald/Leblanc...
Tackhead came through twice, once with Mark Stewart guesting. Clail did a show a little later without Tackhead, as I recall. It's likely that Clail would have played at DV8.
@beewus It's a straight cover version of the 1930s song 'Stormy Weather'. There are no vocal samples on it as far as I know - it's performed entirely by the band.
Acknowledged I'm wrong about it being original, but I'll throw your bullshit right back at you. It's actually uses samples from a 1930s version by Bert Ambrose and His Orchestra with vocals by Sam Browne. The 5 Sharks version sounds totally different.

Thanx for that info. I wondered for years where they pulled that from.
Indeed; it was Steve Barker who supplied the tracks from his copies of the compilations.
oh my god! I haven't heard this song in years!! Talk about a real obscure tune!

Saw Tackhead at DV8 in Boston, wicked good show
I got into this song through tackhead and have unraveled a truely appreciate song song right now. and to thank everyone for your research
Indeed - saw some epic shows during my time in Boston - Front 242, Laibach, Wolfgang Press, Ministry...

I remember that now. Yeah re: Clail. Axis was perfect for Tackhead -- the entire stage was a subwoofer.
great traxx!!!
Thank you! That Zircons record is *sweet*!
Awesome. Hard to believe these are the same cats playing on the Sugarhill classics.
Yes mad tune - I think Tackhead and Fats Comet were very odd. Saw Tackhead Sound System + E back in the day in MCR - amazing...
Tracks like On The Radio by Crash Crew sound similar to me (and equally great), particularly the instrumentals.

is this Skip on Guitars?! i had th old live tape i never saw again.. where the more cowbell is live.
Was that DV8 or Axis? I saw them twice at Axis around 1988.
bubble this
Yes. I should have been more specific. What is the vocal material they're sampling?
Would love to hear the "Dub Storm" too. Could anybody upload it?
I'm uploading it now, 4 years late lol
I think the backing vocals might actually be from the Spaniels version, no?
Bullshit. This is sampled from the Five Sharks version. And once again, "Fats" give no credit.
Because they give no fucks.
