Other Versions
The band undertook an extensive UK tour in June and July 1973 to promote the single, a poorly recorded version from this time appearing on Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin, but soon after Calvert stopped working with the band in an official capacity (largely due to the instability caused by his bi-polar disorder) and the song was dropped. It was restored to the live set in 1977 during Calvert's second spell with the band and remained even after his departure in 1978, the vocals being handled by Brock and a live version appearing on the b-side to the "Shot Down in the Night" single. It was finally dropped in 1984.

- Primal Scream covered the song released as a single in 2008, adding the line "I'm a suicide bomber".
