Thought Id have a go at this one cos I've always loved the dub version King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown. 80's electro-dub pioneers Colourbox also did a great version. Original song by Jacob Miller (produced by Augustus Pablo) I'm afraid there's not much uke in it for ukulele fans.
Version of the theme from Exodus on ukulele & melodica. Originally covered The Skatlaites in 1963 and later Bad Manners.

Gus overdubs some TV PAL ukulele, Dano Pro Gguitar, mini drumkit, Reason Farfisa organ, and borrowed bass guitar to recreate the theme from JOE 90 - A Gerry Anderson adventure puppet series from the 60s. Original theme by Barry Gray Orchestra
Ahem, yes...this is my err "version" of one of the main themes from the spaghetti western A Fistuful of Dynamite also known as Giu La Testa and Once Upon A Time ...The Revolution. The entire film is jam-packed full of atmospheric and poignant music written by Ennio Morricone. A must-see (and hear) film! Apologies to Morricone fans around the world.
