The song was not released on any of their studio albums, instead appearing on their compilation Black Market Clash.

[4] Don Letts filmed a low-budget video for the song, depicting members of the band recording the song in the studio, interspersed with Clash roadies Baker and Johnny Green wearing bandanas over their faces, performing a bank heist in Lewisham.

Ian Brown and Pete Garner, later of the Stone Roses, were in attendance at the studio recording session of this single.

According to Brown, having heard a rumour that the Clash were recording in Manchester, he and Garner were walking through the city centre when they overheard Topper Headon playing the drums at the city's Pluto Studios: Headon subsequently emerged from the studio and invited the pair in.
