  1. B. The Destroyers – Machockies “Seems to me to be identical to the flip”
    i’ll check out the single but i am pretty sure both sides are different, one with count matchuki and other side pure instrumental.i know the 2 sides released on a couple of trojan compilations were the same but one was misnamed.
