Singles chart success

The single is the group's only hit in the UK Singles Chart.[2] Written by the group's lead vocalist Alvin Lee and produced by the group,[3] it was the band's fourth single. The song entered the UK charts at #48 in June 1970 and reached #10 in August finally leaving the chart in October 1970.[4] In the US, it reached #98.[5] In Canada, it reached #56.[6]

Unusually, the A-side of this single is to be played at 45 rpm whilst the B-side is to be played at 33⅓ RPM.[3] The B-side is a live version of the song recorded at Bill Graham's Fillmore East and runs at 7:56 in marked contrast to the A-side's shorter, 3:05.[7] Earlier versions of the disc carried no mention that the B-side is 'live' only an overprint in black ink on the paper label that the playing speed is 33⅓ RPM.[3]
