This is a Moonboots special as he broke this at Aficionado a while back and after it surfaced as an edit on the mysterious Les Edits du Golem label and everyone was starting their sets with it from across the balearic spectrum but for my money the original wins hands down. Clout were a million-selling South African band who according to my mom were quite well known in the late 70s and early 80s back home and this track was big on the Italo/Afro scene with the likes of Daniele Baldelli and Mozart and with its slow dark groove, huge horns and psychedelic vocal were perfect for a scene based on fairly liberal heroine habits and these records are affectionately known in some circles as drug rock, which is quite an apt description. This is a record that is best appreciated loud and mixing the edit into the original works a treat, give it a bash.
