NL/BEL 1980
Second single by the belgian band Bucks Danny (named after a french comic hero) and only released in the Nederlands. The singer was a member of the mighty "Hubble Bubble". The record i own isn't in a good shape and the b side has a lot of crackles and backnoises. But it's the better record than the first one "Stick to you". And i love the a side !
