It was included on the Second Album and released as a single in July 1971 by Warner Bros.[1] It reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart on 18 September.[2] Warners also released it as a single in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Portugal. In 1975 a live version appeared on Curved Air – Live and was released as a single in the UK by Deram, but it failed to make any commercial impact.[1][3]
