Best of the instrumentals

[HarvestmanMan]

Just curious as to what a few favorite instrumental tunes are around here...

I'd say the Enchanters Four -"Like Tuff" is a great one. What other non-vocal killers are around?

Tempests - Rockin' Rochester USA

Lemon Lime is the instrumental side of this 45, not this one.

Thanks Laurent. I was actually thinking of the great lead break in Rockin' Rochester USA, and mixed that up with the Lemon Lime instro flip (which is good but not amazing). So, I have to retract my recommendation.

Chancellors and Interns are big faves. Also Shockwave by Zorba & the Greeks regardless if it is considered surf or not. And one of the first garage records I bought, Blues theme by Davie Allan & the Arrows still get repeated plays through the year 20+ years later.
