1966 Debut US 'Promotional' single by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
"Produced for Quintus Productions, Inc."
(A-Side incorrectly credited to "A. Christensen" - Dixon wrote the song for McDaniel [aka Bo Diddley], who originally arranged & sang it).
This single was later released within "The Legendary A&M Sessions"..
