Jeff Lynne originally did this song with the Move in 1971, the same year ELO was
launched. The Move version is very similiar, but the lead is different.
The ELO version originally appeared on "A New World Record", but also appears
on "Greatest Hits", "Burning Bright", and "Strange Magic: the Best of ELO". An
alternative version also appears on "Flashback"; it has more leads than the original.
Jeff Lynne wrote the song.
