And where exactly did Pet first play it covered up?- Anyone Ever Seen One Of These?
Never heard of another release of it......... Which reminds me of a funny story dating back to my youth. As a regular NME reader in the mid-70s, I would always read the record sales. At this time, loads of Elvis Presley's Japanese EPs were offered for sale by leading record specialists. One day, my aunt caught me reading an ad, and asked what I was looking at. After showing her the ad, she looked puzzled and said "If he's singing them in Japanese, why would anyone want them?" So come on then - do they sing it in Spanish..doh!- Four Tunes You'll Probably Know
Absolutely agree Dan. One of those records I couldn't fault (other than it being elusive and too pricey)!- Monday's Forgotten Oldie

Who covered up "Hey Girl" as "The Downtown Generation" by the Mike Post Coalition?- Tuesday's Forgotten Oldie
