In the mid 1950s/early 1960s Jorgen Ingmann was known as "The Danish Les Paul", as he was the frst guitarist in Europe to similarly experiment with multi-layered recording techniques

Although virtually unknown in Britain, he sold hundreds of thousands of records in mainland Europe, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, and the Far East.

And it's likely that his audacious cover of 'Apache' sold more copies, worldwide, than The Shadows. Although Ingmann also enjoyed parallel European success as a vocalist (he would win the 1963 Eurovision), this set concentrates entirely on his instrumental recordings.

Included are his contemporaneous international hits, 'Echo Boogie', 'Pepe' (a massive hit in Europe, where it outsold Duane Eddy), 'Anna', '(Hear My Song) Violetta', 'Valencia' and 'Africa'.

The frst Jorgen Ingmann CD to be compiled for the UK Instro collectors' market, much of this material is difcult to fnd elsewhere on CD.
