Recorded in the Rockfield Studios (South Wales) with Dave Edmunds producing; shelved until '76 when a speeded up version was released on their eponymous album. The demo's on a MOJO Magazine promo cd (October '13) and the slower original (4:55 instead of 4:33) came on UA-cd I'll Have A ...Bucket Of Brains ('95). One of of the ten in Greil Marcus' The History Of Rock 'N' Roll In Ten Songs. He even knew this would be his #1 song in there.
