A - "Delights in the Garden" Exclusive 7" cut for this vinyl release.
The super funky drums of Mr Bernard Purdie, one of the best drummers in the World, if I may say so myself. Stunning.
B - "It's a trip" Vocal ACID JAZZ / dance gem!
Killer Track. Percussive vocals; addictive and funky. Acid jazz club classic. Dare you to keep up. Once you start, you can't stop dancing. Such vibes. Environmental and racism-alerts messages chorused as early as 1977. You gotta listen to the words. Zeitgeist extraordinaire. #BLM began here.
