This was actually featured on Top of the Pops. I remember at the time thinking that it wasn't that great compared to the previous two (more catchy) singles. Retrospective appraisal proves that with a couple more listens it was a great track. Two more great singles released after their last hit also failed to chart - 'Cigarettes, women and wine' and 'IOU'.
crikey.... i had this as a give-away flexi single in 1972. i bought their album when it came out and still have it (12" vinyl). I have not heard this for probably 35 years!. many thanks.
@stevierichie thats brilliant!!!! just telling my partner about the flexi-single which I also had and then read your post 60 secs later. Alas I don't have my copy anymore. Which magazine did it come with and what were the other 2 tracks on it (pretty sure one of them was son of my father)?
@soul4444 I seem to remember it had 3 abridged tracks on it. As for the magazine well....... i think it may have been called "POPSWAP" or something like it.
Ah so that's why I remember this one - it was the flexi-disc from Popswap!
