Clapping Song HD | The Belle Stars

HD version of promo video for the 1982 single. A right motley bunch of friends and neighbours who happened to be in the area on here – see if you can spot yourself! It was a constant battle between band and label – Dave Robinson and Paul Connelly were convinced cover versions for an all-female band were the way to go (Iko, Clapping Song, Mocking) which we all hated. We were a pretty hard-working live act at the time and constantly battled to get our stuff out there... finally Stiff relented and put out Sign of the Times... BOOM! No more covers... Produced by Peter Collins. Written by L. Chase. Stiff catalogue BUY155
