The original issue of the single in the Netherlands was released in 1969 on Tee Set Records (TS 1329), selling over 100,000 copies. There are at least three studio recorded versions of the songs available. The the US hit version on Colossus Records (CS107), released in 1969; A British issued version on Major Minor Records (MM666), released in 1970, and a Black and White video version featuring the band miming along a waterfront.
