Maria –Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet/Out Of My Mind –Epidemic RASH 612 (1973 SA)
In my quest to own every version of CYHASYF known to man, I now present you with the South African version! It’s a sprightly remake of the Bonnie St. Claire/ Pete Koelewijn classic, with fine backing vocals chanted by what sounds like the remnants of a pacified Zulu nation embracing Glam…Perhaps the strangest aspect of this release is the name/ look of the label as it could be pass for some 80s Indie label and not the output of the Apartheid regime in ‘73. One day I hope to have 12 different versions of this song (any from Asia?…there must be!) which would be the excuse to release an album called " I Want To Teach The World To Clap Their Hands And Stamp Their Feet"

How's the 'Mug version? Hit in Canada does not always good equal. See Tinker's Moon.
ReplyDeleteNot 100% sure that the Thundermug song of a similar name is in fact the same song...But live in hope...
