The Gene Ammons (original and best!) version of Jungle Strut features on a
compilation from BGP titled 'Acid Jazz'. If, like me, you're an anorack and
you really want the original, try giving Ian Clark a call on 01692 403158.
He runs a mail order service for Jazz and rare groove LPs and 45s.

Hope this helps,

Paul.
