Mongo Santamaria Band "Watermelon Man" 45
The label of this 45 caught my eye right away. Loved it. Basic but effective. Mongo Santamaria doing his Herbie Hancock cover B/W "Don't bother me know more". Almost everyone is familiar with "Watermelon Man" and Mongo plays it prety straight forward with a little shouting added in and a little messing with the tempo in the chorus.
The flipside is a latin groover with a nice bassline.
Some records you buy cause you know the artist or song title. This I bought just on the strength of the logo on the label and I got lucky.
