John's Review: This was our first single & a song we were real happy with, it just has a magic feel that transcends the “low-fi” production... it just bursts out of the speakers! the b-side “wiped out” was also done the same day, if you turn up the very end of the track, you hear where we threw a garbage can down the stone steps of the studio & then one of our roadies screams “what the f**k was that?” - priceless!!! initally both songs had extended mid sections that we advised to ditch... and rightly so!
