>>Loose Picks<< Jan Davis - Watusi Zombie

This 7” is one of my favourites and one of the first of this genre I deliberately set out to find. It’s a surfy instrumental with a heavy dose of exotica and a ghoulish novelty twist. It was released in 1964 on Holiday records and was produced by Jan Davis himself alongside Jimmy king. Information on this record, like many others of its ilk is pretty hard to find. Seems to be pressed by Alco Research And Engineering, Co. But doesn’t say that anywhere on my promotional copy. The B-side is Pooky, less of a ripper but a bop none the less!

This track and others like it can be found on Jungle exotica Vol 1.
