Side A:
Recordings by Government officers (kiaps) in the 1960s' (11/2/1964) about crazed men in warriors with spears and bows and arrows jumping around, shouting, yelling, whistling, singing and dancing. Their actions were serious at first like attacking and later calmed down not to be threatening in such situations for safety and not to be in danger of the kiaps and their families.

Side B:
In preparation to celebrating the official PNG independence day on 16th September 1975, a number of traditional songs were performed called "Singsing tanimhet". These are the customary song tradition by both males and females seated cross-legged and facing each other and whilst singing turning their heads continuously and consistently sideways both slowly and fast to the rhythms of the songs.
