The Premiers 1966 recording “Get On This Plane”: NY Night Train Daily Party Platter on YouTube

Driven by a relentless “I Can Give You Everything” bassline locked in groove with a muscular beat, drenched in an ocean of fuzz, this beast builds and builds to “take you on a trip that’ll blow your brain”! Come on baby! Get on this plane….
