Information/Write-up

EXTREMEly rare single, released independently by the Kings prior to being signed to Elektra. The single plays at 33 1/3 speed on one side, 45 speed on the flip. 500 copies were pressed, most were owned by the Kings manager and most were likely chucked out. It contains an alternate version of the song. Several of the chord progressions are different, and there are extra lyrics that were excised when the song was re-recorded in 1980 for their debut album.

Dave Diamond: lead vocal, bass
Mr. Zero: guitar
Sonny Keyes: keyboards
Max Styles: drums
