It was taken from their November 1971 album 'Dog of Two Head'. Pye Records released the song more than a year after the album, following the success of the single "Paper Plane", released in November 1972 on the Vertigo label. It became a UK Top 20 hit previously only three of the ten Pye singles had made the Top 20. They tried this again with the single "Gerdundula", another track from the same album, but it failed to chart. The band included the song in the set for their 2009 Glastonbury Festival debut.
