This re-issue is an interesting one as the label titles “Detour” on the flip side, but the actual song on the record is “Yep!”. I listed the musicians and session details based on the actual songs.

I have already posted the original “Rebel Rouser” release here.

List price:  This re-issue is not in the catalog. Someone is currently selling this in eBay for $18,59.
