@hunzukin1 Sir, there was a time that cd's did not exist. In 1980, if any artist recorded and released a song, it was not released on cd, but on a single (45rpm) or an LP (33.3rpm). Remember those, the vinyl ones, black, woth a paper label in the middle, yah? Anyway, this means, there is no such thing as an "original cd" of ANY Franco or T.P. O.K. Jazz record, there are only original singles, EP's or LP's. Anytthing else can never be original.

A.S, If by any chance you have the studio version of this song, would you humor us by posting it? It was played to the bone on V.O.K (Now KBC, Kenya) and formed the soundtrack of my childhood...
