Song profile
Recording of the song coincided with the recording of another track, namely "Green Circles", both of which were taped on 13 December 1966 at IBC Studios. Further work started in January and a final mix was completed the following month. It was first released on their eponymous second studio album Small Faces on 23 June 1967 in both mono and stereo versions.[2] The album became a relative success, reaching number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.[3] Despite this, Small Faces was not issued in America, and the song would not appear in the US until almost half a year later, when it was included on There Are But Four Small Faces on 1 December 1967. It was also the title track of an EP released in Thailand by TK Records.
During the recording at IBC Studios, John Pantry was the responsible studio engineer, whilst further work on the song was engineered by the Rolling Stones engineer Glyn Johns, being assisted by Eddie Kramer.
In the instrumental break of the song, audible laughter and incoherent vocals can be heard, they are more prominent in the stereo versions of the track, and more upfront on alternate mixes of the song found on Here Comes The Nice: Immediate Years box set 1967-69.[4]
