First collab album by Barrie Cadogan (Little Barrie) and Shawn Lee

The story of Ultrasonic Grand Prix is one of the two vintage 60s guitars and their owners.

I love my 1967 Vox Grand Prix guitar,” declares multi-instrumentalist/producer Shawn Lee – creator, among other feats, of the soundtrack for Rockstar video game classic Bully, and one half of Ultrasonic Grand Prix.“It is a serious beast and an important part of my arsenal. Every tone you need…’

For guitar maestro Barrie Cadogan – of Nottingham Freakbeaters Little Barrie, best known for the main title theme of ‘Better Call Saul’, The The, Liam Gallagher and playing on the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’ – it was the Vox Ultrasonic, also from the same period, that caught his eye. “I first became interested in Vox guitars because of people who used them like Spacemen 3 and the James Brown band of the late 60’s”, he explains, “but it was when I was part of a recording session at Anton Newcombe’s studio in Berlin that I had chance to get to know the Vox gear better. I was borrowing an Ultrasonic from a friend for a while and Shawn already had his Grand Prix. I thought it would be a good name for our project whenever we got it going.’
