Soul Makossa/ Hot Mud

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. L.A. studio group gets in on this song's terrific action, taking a few sales away from Manu Dibango's original version. Both were released in the U.S. at the same time. Fortunately, the song is good enough that there's plenty of room for two fine versions. :-) Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl (styrene), Audio).
