THE STORY BEHIND IT

Released during a quieter commercial phase for Roy Wood, the single reflects his continued commitment to self‑produced, self‑performed material. The A‑side’s upbeat arrangement contrasts with the quirky instrumental B‑side. Record Collector Magazine (August 1994, p.87) confirms the month of release. PYRAL embossing on the A‑side label indicates French pressing for the UK market.
