BUCKINGHAM PALACE / WHAT’S THE USE 45 by THE COL NOLAN SOUL SYNDICATE

Often hailed as Australia's premier Hammond player, Col Nolan has long been a mainstay in the Sydney scene. Contributing to various projects such as an early member of The Daly Wilson Big Band, session organist for Sven Libaek and also running his own various groups, Nolan has proven himself to be at the top of Australian Soul Jazz for over four decades. Votary Records have chosen to highlight his work with his early seventies unit, The 'Soul Syndicate'. Featured here are two killer scats, 'Buckingham Palace' and 'What's the Use'. In fact this 45 is actually a reissue from the original ultra rare single released in 1973. While the track 'What's the Use' featured on the album 'Live at Jason's', the Hammond heavy 'Buckingham Palace' was only ever the B-side from the single. This in turn has become a top collectors piece in the world of beat digging. Over the last ten years it has achieved high demand due to it's appearance on the 1995 Australian compilation 'Heading in the Right Direction'. Now available again in a run of 200 copies. Tip!
