Recorded in the DJM studio before Christmas 1968, with Caleb Quaye as producer, this track was Elton's debut UK single release as Elton John, in March 1968. Although composed solely by Elton, Bernie Taupin was given a writing credit in order that he would earn his first publishing royalties. This acetate has Elton on vocals and piano, with backing band but no orchestral overdubs.
