The 12" story seems to be that this was first released on the Canadian Attic label in 1978 - a different version to the US version released the following year - which was also repressed in 1981. Possibly one of the best basslines of any disco track ever.

Bandmembers were Lou Deprijck (also known from Lou & The Hollywood Bananas), Sylvain Vanholme (founder of the Wallace Collection) and Pipou (Yvan or Yves Lacomblez) (co-writer of "Ca plane pour moi").
