I don't have the CD myself, but I know that the CD 'Roy Wood - Exotic Mixture' has 'We Are The Boys' on. I haven't seen the complete tracklisting of this CD, but from what I've found out, it may also have 'Rocking On Stage' on it too.
In The State, both never got the fame they deserved. (Thin Lizzy only had a song or two that got airplay. And The MOve? I was the only person that bought their records I guess)
While I have great appreciation for Phil Lynott's performance, if Roy Wood wasn't associated with this I wouldn't have bought on spec. I'm a Move/Electric Light Orchestra/ Roy Wood's Wizzard fan so I don't share you opinion.
Cheap Trick should cover this!

sounds very commercial to me, trying to write a hit is generally a bad idea.

Just because something sounds commercial (which to me is a pretty ambiguous term anyway), doesn't mean it's bad. This was a B-side anyway.

Has this song ever been released on CD? I know 'We Are The Boys (Who Make All The Noise)' has.
