Question
Hello
I suppose this is an easy question for you, since even Wikipedia writes shortly about it. My questions is about Shake your foundations. There are, as you know, two different version. The later one mixed by Young & Vanda.
But I simple wants to know WHY they feeled they had to make a new version and is the Young & Wanda version the one without the double-drum-beat in the beginning?
Best regards,
Magnus Londen / Helsinki
Hello Magnus,
Thank you for your question.
A special edition radio single was issued of this song for radio promotion, which featured the special second mix of the song. I would guess that it was intended with hope for more radio play of the track.
Best Regards,
Bill
