 NOTE:
 1981 / WB having rejected his new album "Somewhere In England", Harrison, back at the ol'
 drawing board, once again found himself in the recording studio
 re-touching & composing 4 new songs to replace the 4 pulled from the album,
 This was one of the songs pulled & along with the other 3 - can be found on:
 1.George Harrison "Pirate Songs"
 2.George Harrison "Completed Rarities Vol. 1
 3.George Harrison "Somewhere In England"
 ( original version and track list w/ bonus tracks )
