Cheap Phil is Back

“Cheap Phil is Back” is an original instrumental intended to evoke the feel of an early 1960s song used to “fill out” a Ventures album or serve as a “B-side”. Both the Ventures and Shadows discographies are full of tracks like this. In many, many cases, I actually prefer these tracks to the “featured” ones. By definition, they must be fairly simple tunes and use only the base group with no additional instruments or production.
