Released in 1966, the track was originally demoed with Bowie's touring band, The Buzz,[1] but Tony Hatch was unhappy with their efforts, and replaced them with session players. The song was performed in 1966-67 as a rewritten version by 1-2-3 (later Clouds), which Bowie heard played at The Marquee club in early 1967.[2] The single was another commercial failure, and was Bowie's last recording on Pye.

The song was re-recorded 34 years later for Bowie's unreleased album Toy.
