B-side
The B-side "Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament For The 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat From The Straits Of Loch Knombe, In The Year Of Our Lord 1727, On The Occasion Of The Announcement Of Her Marriage To The Laird Of Kinleakie" is actually a medley of three tunes: "Da Scalloway Lasses" (Trad.), "The Kilfenora" (Trad.) and "Boston Tea Party" (by Dave Swarbrick). The title referred to the strip cartoon Barry McKenzie, written by Barry Humphries, which Fairport Convention enjoyed in the satirical magazine Private Eye. The song's title was an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.{{Cite book| first= Martin C.| last= Strong| year= 2000| title= The Great Rock Discography ==Availability==
