The song is a defining and distinctive piece from the group's canon, appearing on the first collection album Roadhawks in 1976, and included on most official compilations covering the era.
Paul had known Brock from working with him earlier in the year on The Buskers album (Columbia, SX6356), British tour and Royal Albert Hall concert.
Another previously unheard track recorded at the same session, "Sweet Mistress of Pain" (also known as "Kiss of the Velvet Whip"), was included on the B-side, as was an alternate version of the 1975 single "Kings of Speed".
The band recorded a version at Maida Vale Studios on 18 August 1970 for broadcast on John Peel's BBC Radio programme Top Gear on 19 September 1970, along with "Some of That Stuff" and "Seeing It As You Really Are".
As the band pursued a more experimental electronic and rock direction, the acoustic folk of the song did not sit well in the set and was soon dropped, rarely to be performed.
