Nice history on the band and the WKTK album. Whoever posted this, thanks for uncovering it from obscurity! I am one of the co-writers of this song. There is a convoluted history behind this song. There were actually THREE versions of this song. For the first version, the band allowed the producer to mix the song without anyone from the band being present. When we heard the final mix, we did not like it, so we remixed it ourselves. The producer then became disgruntled and disavowed having been the producer. The band had soon thereafter disbanded without yet releasing the 45rpm. Anyway, there were now two versions/two mixes. Then, shortly afterwards, the songwriters reformed the band with a new lead guitarist and we now wanted to put the 45 rpm out. However, the new guitarist wanted to do his own solo, so we recorded a new guitar solo and mixed that in and now had a third version. The 3rd version is the version that went out on the 45rpm. However, I don't remember which version ended up on the WKTK album, but it may be the one on here, or this could have come from a cassette tape as many were floating around. Maybe the person who posted this can answer that question. However, this version here is NOT the version that became the 45 rpm. If you want to hear the version that ended up on the 45 rpm, look me up on my RUclips channel under: Greg Sinners and you will find it along with the B-Side (Ten Years) and more songs.

That guitar solo was performed by original guitarist Neal......
