"Yoo Doo Right," Can Lenght:20:18 (Edited from 6 Hours)
The Song had been edited down from a six-hour improvisation to a 'mere' twenty minutes. The song features a pounding, tribal-influenced rhythm section throughout, along with singer Malcolm Mooney repeatedly reading excepts from a love letter in an almost mantra-like manner.
