SILVER/BLACK - STYLE 'C'
Another locally-conceived coupling and one that would become a consistent seller for EMI (Australia), remaining available until the late 1980s. It was also one of the few non-Lennon/McCartney couplings to be released worldwide. It regained popularity in 1988 thanks to the success of Australian Mental As Anything's cover and its appearance in the film "Young Einstein".
