Additional Information
This was The Haunted’s first single for Trans-World and belongs to the period following Bob Burgess’s departure, with Johnny Monk taking over as lead vocalist.

The record credits identify Johnny Monk, Jurgen Peter, Al Birmingham and Bob Bosak. Bosak’s surname also appears in later sources as Bozac and Boziak.

The original record credits the drummer as Nick Farlowe. Later accounts, including Bernard Perusse’s reporting and Bob Burgess’s 2024 recollection, identify the drummer as Nick Saraceno. The relationship between the two names has not been definitively resolved, so Nick Farlowe is retained here as the original release credit.
