Notes

• This was a cover version recorded at the behest of Lew Grade by session musicians at Pye Studios in London. It was rush-released to coincide with the first transmissions of The Zoo Gang.

• The session was produced by Tony Hiller and Colin Frechter played keyboards. The other musicians are not known.

• The cover version is so accurate that some fans have attested that 'Jungle Juice' was a pseudonym for the McCartneys, but this was not the case.

• The B-side, Monkey Business, is a Hiller / Frechter composition that has no connection with The Zoo Gang.

• The UK release was issued in a generic sleeve. As a bonus feature, we have included the picture sleeve that accompanied the 1975 Spanish release (Discos Belter, S.A./Bradley's Records, catalogue number 06.075).
