2004 single

The song was released as a 7" single by Sundazed Records in 2004 as a part of their "Kustom Shop" of original releases. Its B-side was the "Osamu’s Birthday". The originally-unissued "Osamu's Birthday" has a strange vocal track which Moskowitz recorded by singing the lyrics phonetically backwards, then the track was reversed for an other-worldly effect.[1]

Both these songs are previously unissued versions recorded live-in-the-studio, 1967. They are different from the versions that appear on the 2004 bonus track version of the band's only album.
