West Nkosi South african township jive"marabi bell 800"

A masterpiece from South Africa,early 70's. "Marabi Bell 800",by West Nkosi! The opening lines translate to English as follows:
"Hey,West,have you forgotten about the marabi bell? NO,I haven't forgotten,and I'm going to hit it again on 'marabi bell 800'.The number 800 doesn't refer to anything,it just sounds good!The spirit is here,say 'yes'guys! YESSS!"

Would be grateful if anybody could upload an old 45 track of a similar genre to this ( dating from the early to mid-70s? ) titled "DURBAN FREEWAY"
