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 )

All which I won on eBay years ago but may now be available in some stores. 
Can also be found on "Youtube".
