Unfortunately no Queenies in this video...but at least clearly audible..nice song with a lot of Queen elements.

Have always liked the song. Love the Red Special sound on it.

A gem really. Much appreciated video. =)

What a lucky man Eddie Howell.Helped by the best.

Beatiful backing vocals in the "Queen" style and terrible solo by Brian makes this song blast off like a rocket.

I like this old things very much.

Taste is so subjective =)
Terrible solo for good,of course.
Such an awkward video hahah. This is included on 'Ghost of a Smile', right? I never understood the connection to Smile/Queen, though I suspected that was Brian's guitar. Pretty funky song
Nice vid. I actually imagined Eddie Howell looking completely different :-)

Thanks for posting!

One of my all-time favourite 'rare' songs ever, for sure. Did the single sink without a trace? If not, can anyone help me out and give a UK chart position from 1976, please?

Probably due to the fact Eddie was pimping out the song in the 90's. He had at least two separate CD-Single issues put out at the time.

yeah, he was sooooooo lucky. in fact his career skyrocketed after this collaboration. just take a peek at his Wiki page. what? you can't find it?
that's cos there isn;t one - because that "queen help/luck" amounted to a career of a handful of non-charting singles and an album
