[INTRO] - [RECORDINGS]
Recordings
The
original mixes of these two songs are only available
on the Samar 45 released in 1966. The versions on later compilations,
titled "Groovemaker", "Groove" and "Two
In One Goes" are all radically different. A third Norman
song,
"Gangster Of Love", often features on compilations but
has no involvement by Hendrix, see Lonnie Youngblood fakes for more information.
