If it's an instrumental tune, it's by the Ventures. If it's not an
instrumental, then I don't know who did it.
Last time I looked, there were only one or two Ventures TAB's on OLGA,
and this was not one of them.

I get the Michael Caine reference... ;-)
But "Apache" was originally done by Jorgen Ingemann, who wrote it. It
was later covered by the Shadows, The Ventures, Red Knuckles and the
Trailblazers, and my band ;-)

English group the Shadows has a version of it, I don't know who did it
first, Shadows or Ventures or somebody else.

Do you mean the one by the Shadows?

Hmm. We'll have to agree to disagree on that for the time being. I'll
check tonight. I have a vague recollection of reading a Shadows biog when
I was an impressionable teenager, and in it they described their meeting
with Lordan and how he demo'd Apache on an old acoustic guitar. He may even
have unsuccessfully released a version of it himself. Either way, somebody's
telling porkies.

I checked my old vinyl last night, and it's definitely Lordan who gets the
composer's credit. The Shadows' recording dates from 1960 - when did
Ingemann's version appear? Someone else mentioned that it was an early
example of multi-track recording, which would put it back in the Les Paul era,
a decade earlier. Doesn't seem likely. Of course, there may be 2 different
tunes involved. The one I know goes something like this -
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

If 2 people are claiming credit for it, one of them should be talking to his
lawyer.

I think it was written by Jet Harris, one time member of The Shadows, but I
think he'd left them before they charted with it.
Jorgen Ingemann is basically a jazz guitarist and a really good one at that
but he has done a lot of covers as well. Apache is one of them. You should
listen to some of the early Svend Asmussen records to get a glimpse of what
Ingemann is capable of.
