First out as a single by The Creators, Amalgamated Records, AMG 821, 1968.
Covered by The Fall in session for Peel, recorded between 15th - 19th January 1992 - produced by Dale Griffin. Complete with a nod to Perrys' nutty studio clink clunking and bottle smashing. Who said Smith wasn't a music fan?
The Fall's Peel session version was so good it was afforded the status of a special 7" and 12" release in 1993.
