Wild world - Jimmy Cliff

'Wild world' was originally written by Cat Stevens (as advertised on the sleeve of this single). He recorded it on his fourth album 'Tea for the Tillerman' in 1970.

Jimmy Cliff's version, released a few months before Stevens released the original version, reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. Surprisingly, Stevens' version was not released as a single in the UK.

My collection: 7" single no. 1845
Found: Record fair, Amsterdam, January 23, 1993
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Wild world' / 'Be aware'
