The two records were released with the following statement:

“SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Who consider Mick Jagger & Keith Richard (sic) have been treated as scapegoats for the drug problem and as a protest against the savage sentences imposed on them at Chichester yesterday, The Who are issuing today the first of a series of Jagger/Richard songs to keep their work before the public until they are again free to record themselves.”

Pete played bass at John was honeymooning on the Queen Elizabeth at the time.

Someone actually read my post! :-) Thanks, Jim. I'll start trolling around to see if I can locate the B side you're talking about. Woo hoo! Someone actually read my post! :-) Thanks, Jim.

A suggestion for an addition would be the fantastic version they did of "Baby Don't You Do It" around the time of Who's Next. I think the live version (B side of a single) is better than the studio version found on the remastered Who's Next as an extra track. Great mix of Who covers! ~Thanks!
