Overview
Another single where airplay was restricted by Leeds Music, this time not lifted until the release date, which incidentally coincided with its release in the UK.

As EMI (Australia) was heavily occupied with meeting demand for the many Beatles releases, as well as a wave of other new English beat titles, production of this single was supplemented by Festival Records. These Festival pressings are distinguishable by their smaller double pressing ring and the absence of anti-skid ribbing.

Deleted by mid-1970, the single was recut on 28 June 1976 from PARLO 90 (the stereo Greatest Hits Volume 2 album production master tape) by Richard Mott and reissued in July, where it remained available until the late 1980s. From that point it was the only single in the world to contain the stereo mix of 'She's A Woman'.
