This single was issued to promote the Obscured By Clouds album, in such countries as
Denmark,
Germany,
Italy, and
New Zealand. The single was probably released without the band even knowing about it. They certainly didn't give permission for it to be released. But the various record companies around the world decided that it would be a good idea.
Variations include the
Japanese issue, with Absolutely Curtains on the B-Side and the
Dutch issue, which has The Gold It's In The... listed on the cover but which actually plays Wots... Uh the Deal. The
American issue has Stay on the flipside. This one actually picked up quite a lot of airplay on US radio stations.
