Prince 1207
"A fine instrumental blues with lots of echo. Side makes use of a downward progression of notes as one of its base themes. Plenty of raucous guitar and sax sound here (Atlantic, BMI)" Later also released on DOT 16004.
The title was first "Dragstrip" but was changed during the session, the sax and the bass were also added. John 15 y.o. Pete 16 at the time.
Search for "Stampede Pete Antell" (formerly Antonio) and see the clip from the film.
