This is a demo or promo pressing of Cisse’s first solo single. He was the bass player of Hurriganes, the most popular Finnish rock band in the ‘70’s. These were the first two tracks of his 1976 solo album “Teendreams”. Cisse released two more albums: “Summer Party” in 1979 and “I Love You Anyway” in 1985.

The actual release (LRS 2151) had a cover of the Searcher’s song “Saturday Night Out” on the flip side.

List price:  I have a price list of Finnish records, but it doesn’t list demos nor promos. The released version of the single is listed at 9 euros in the book.
