		Side A: Wade In The Water/ Shotgun Side B: Monopoly/ Stealin' Liberty LES-45034 (???*, 1970) Format: 4 Track E.P. 7" from the album 'CLOVER' *Not sure where this one was released. Might be Portugal or Spain because I got 2 from a Spanish guy who claims the single was released there. Another guy says it's from Australia. Might be true because it was released by Liberty, whereas the Spanish releases at that time where distributed by Marfer. On the E.P. itself or the sleeve there is no valid information.

		Side A: Chicken Funk Side B: Show Me Your Love Vertigo 6059 157 (UK, 11/76) Format: 7" Sounds Star Single Clover: 'Chicken Funk' (Vertigo). Chickens? Funk? Rural? City? Do they mix? Yup. Slapped together on this waxing they gell like Instant Whip and a pint of gold top. Result: happiest single this year from the grossly underrated West Coasters. Fiddle excursions behind negroid vocal and shrieking whistles. Redneck soul, irresistable. As the man say "Feel so bad you wanna shoot yourself/well stop and take another breath/there's a much hipper way to go/just Chicken Funk yourself to death. (Sounds Magazine, 20 November 1976, Single reviewed by Tim Lott)
