Notes
The fourth and last single from the album Black Sea is an edited version of the opening number on the LP. Here it is truncated by the removal of the intro that sounded as if a scratched record were being played. The playing time printed on the label (3.37) is that of the album version; this is 30 seconds shorter than that.
The single version also features Terry's yelling at the beginning of verse three. Side B consists of two older recordings.
