The full version from a tape source is on the Ace UK release, Early Girls Volume 4. Avoid the CD, Only In Canada Volume 6, on which the song is mastered from vinyl and is missing the first few seconds.

This song was issued in Canada on the Sparton label, which licensed it to the Unique label for release in the US. In the 1950s and 1960s, Sparton had dozens of hits in Canada licensed from US labels. This is the only US hit I know of that was a Sparton original that Sparton licensed to a US label.

Priscilla Wright did not release her first album until 1988!! (The album included a new version of "The Man In The Raincoat", which became a minor adult contemporary hit in Canada. I recall hearing it once on CFPL in London, the station where Priscilla's father Don Wright had a show in the 1950s.)
