Ach, it's shortened. Good track none the less.

@AsmodeusNOIR - Yep, the 45rpm versions that were played on radio are mostly shorter versions than the original album cuts.

This is awesome. Always loved i, since I was 11 yo in 1971. I have the vinil and the cd.

@jim102353 Only in the US. They were better known in Europe and Japan. Plus after this LP there came many lineup changes and failed projects. See 'Sylvia" which was a very big follow-up in the UK. Still, I remember this song getting me through many a shitty day in Junior High. I can still yodel those parts but can't whistle like that to save my life. ;-)

Talk about one hit wonders? Yes, they define it. Solid Gold 1973 rarely heard.

I bought the LP secondhand in 1975 after having heard this track. I didn't like the album to start with but it grew on me. I am thinking of buying the CD after all these years. Perhaps I should try to track down "Philip Green" whose record I purchased and find out if he shares my nostalgia...
