Still struggling with my system folks...In the meantime, here's super-slick Chinese version of Cher's "Bang Bang". This song was originally written by Sonny Bono, though its more well-known as a Nancy Sinatra hit*. I'm currently unsure of the Chung track's original year. The B-side to this Stoned Circus reissue 45, "Black Room" by Jun Mayazumi can be found on the Nippon Girls compilation (!). Dig it.Betty Chung- Bang Bang
*Ajda Pekkan also cut a righteous version of this track in 1967.

1968 per whosampled.com.
Also comped on the great (but only semi legit, I think) 'Let's a Go Go! - Singapore & Southeast Asian Pop Scene 1964-69'.
Superb cover of a superb song. But I think Nancy still owns my heart.
Great version this, I really like French Ye Ye lady, Sheilas' version too.
I have a Betty Chung ep with this on it. Here's a picture of the cover, it's pretty groovy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonitoclub/1382216723/in/set-72157594582823049/
