The single peaked at number nine on the singles chart, making it more successful than its predecessor, ‘Give Ireland Back To The Irish’.

I thought it was all very deep and all very nice. I see now, you know, it wasn’t much of a record. That’s all. It just didn’t really make it as a record, and that’s what tells, the black plastic.
