Two terrific instrumentals, featuring a Latin-tinged cover of the Miriam Makeba tune on the A side, and an even more impressive Northern Soul-style dance number on the flip. Apparently, "Blast Off" features King Curtis and may also include rhythm guitar by Jimi Hendrix, who was known to play with the Kingpins at this time. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
