APACHE ’65
“Apache” is a much-recorded instrumental written by Jerry Lordan. The original version was by the British group the Shadows, recorded in June 1960 and released the next month. Among many recordings, Davie Allan and The Arrows recorded the song in 1965, under the name “Apache ’65”. (More from Wikipedia)
The original line-up of Davie Allan and the Arrows was Davie Allan (lead guitar), Paul Johnson (rhythm guitar), Steve Pugh (bass) and Larry Brown (drums); but there have been a variety of Arrows over the decades since. Their early sides were conventional rock instrumentals, with a remake of the Shadows hit called “Apache ’65” being a particular success.
