Carlo, proviamo a capire come stanno effettivamente le cose?
APACHE figura in archivio appartenente (come originale) sia a Bert Weedon che agli Shadows.
In Wikipedia alla voce Jerry Lordan (l'autore di APACHE) si trova questo:
But it was as a composer that he found real fame when he wrote the instrumental, "Apache" (named after a Burt Lancaster film). It was originally recorded by Bert Weedon, but Lordan did not like the version. Weedon's label, Top Rank, did not release it immediately. On tour with The Shadows, Lordan demonstrated the tune to bass player Jet Harris, reportedly picking out the tune on a ukelele. When the rest of the band heard it, they agreed to record it. It was released in July 1960 and hit number one in August, staying at the top for five weeks. The tune was also recorded by the Danish guitarist Jorgen Ingmann, who took it to number two in the Billboard Hot 100. The Shadows' version was voted Top Record of 1960 in the New Musical Express Readers' Poll.
Se interpreto giusto, sembrerebbe che Bert Weedon abbia registrato per primo APACHE ma, dato che la sua versione non piaceva a Jerry Lordan, la Top Rank non pubblico' subito il disco. In seguito Lordan lo esegui' in un tour fatto insieme agli Shadows, e questi ultimi lo incisero subito.
Quindi sembrerebbe che, nonostante Weedon lo abbia registrato prima degli Shadows, il suo disco sia stato pubblicato dopo.
Alla voce Shadows e' scritto questo:
EMI records (via their US branch: Capitol Records) failed at all to promote The Shadows version of Apache in the USA despite it being a hit around the rest of the world. The Ventures used their version of Apache as an album track. Bert Weedon recorded his version of Apache before the Shadows' version but only belatedly rush released his in the wake of the Shadows version fast climbing the UK charts in Summer of 1960. In the USA, Danish guitarist, Jorgen Ingmann had a major Billboard no1 hit with his version of Apache.
E cio' confermerebbe quanto scritto prima.
Stando cosi' le cose... a chi attribuiamo l'originalita' di APACHE? Io voto per gli Shadows !
