THE CRUEL SEA inštrumentálna skladba skupiny THE DAKOTAS, ktorá bola v UK rebríčku 13 týždňov od 11. júla 1963 a skončila na 18.m. Autorom skladby bol solový gitarista Mike Maxfield nar. 23. februara 1944 v Manchestri, ktorú zložil pred 18 mesiacmi a nazval ju podľa románu Nicholasa Monserratta, ktorý objavil na polici s knihami pri návšteve rodičov.Skupinu Dakotas z Manchestru pomenovanú podľa toho, že pôvodne vystupovali v indianskom oblečení tvorili ešte Robin MacDonald sprievodná gitara, Ray Jones basová gitara a Tony Mansfield bicie vl.m. Anthony Bookbinder, ktorého sestra sa v 80. rokoch preslávila pod umeleckým menom Elkie Brooks.

Uno de los mejores temas instrumentales de los 60's. Los Dakotas fué un gran grupo

I don't think it's a guitar at all. I play guitar, in fact I had a rock n roll band in 1962 awful as it was. Things were not as clever as far as effects were concerned in those days. I think it is some kind of keyboard instrument piano type of thing. If you had a Vox AC30 and Watkins copycat and Fender Strat back in those days you were king.

Steve Webster

Ooops! seems that I might be wrong about the 12 String! Somebody had already posted that Mike Maxfield never used a 12 String! In that case, it could be 2 electric guitar tracks, one played in a low register, and one played an octave higher.

Steve Webster

I'm 99% sure that it's a 12 String Electric Guitar. Probably a Burns, a Rickenbacker, or a Fender. The simple early part of the melody line in the song was the first thing my Uncle taught me to do on the guitar in about 1966. The really tricky bit (and it's still tricky even now!) took a good few years more to learn!! Still actively playing the Guitar today, thanks to The Cruel Sea!

David Sutton

I just now listened to the "Cruel Sea" as done by Mike Maxfield and really liked it. Before I listen to it again I hope his name and talent as well as the Dakotas will shine brightly in the sky of instrumental/rock/groups. He deserves a place in the heavens by himself!
