APACHE (Davie Allan and the Arrows)
“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)
Allmusic lists a total of 29 albums by Davie Allan and the Arrows, many being soundtrack albums. I have three of them myself, all on the Bomp!-affiliated Total Energy Records label: Fuzz Fest (1998), The Arrow Dynamic [Aerodynamic] Sounds of Davie Allan & the Arrows (1999), and a live album called Live Run (2000). The live album includes their hit “Blues’ Theme” as well as “Apache”.
