Notes

1960s unofficial reissue from Pittsburgh.

From Miriam Linna's liner notes for Norton Records' 2008 compilation, Mad Mike Monsters Volume 3:

Ed Salamon: "'Pow Wow' ... was another Mad Mike Monster ... I'll always how the girls would dance on the runway at Danceland to that song, as we guys just stood there and ogled."

Dave Bennett: " ... we called up Manny Corchado in New York City and told him we all loved the record and he goes, 'You're shittin' me! You're shittin' me!' He didn't even have a copy of the 45. They were going for a hundred bucks here back then. It was booted as 'Spanish Fly' (sic) by The Mosquitoes on Spear."
