The A-side became fairly well known at the time from its inclusion on the Island sampler album, Nice Enough To Eat. They were beaten to the punch however by the group Skip Bifferty who released their own single as Heavy Jelly, "I Keep Singing That Same Old Song" b/w "Blue", on Island Records. Guitarist John Morshead from The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation and three ringers had posed for the "group's" photo in the magazine, so to cash in on the buzz Morshead and drummer Carlo Little released a single on promoter John Curd's Head Records ("Chewn In"/"Time Out", Head HDS4001, 1969). The band began as a hoax review in Time Out magazine.

By 1970, The Beatles' breakup left the remaining Apple Records artists in limbo. A final Apple single followed, a cover version of " How the Web Was Woven" featuring Leon Russell. Lomax and Harrison recorded the remainder of the Is This What You Want? album in Los Angeles, with Hal Blaine and other members of the Wrecking Crew but as with the concurrent single, the Lomax-produced "New Day", success remained elusive when the album was released in early 1969.

Despite having three-quarters of The Beatles on the record, plus Eric Clapton and Nicky Hopkins, Lomax's 1968 debut single on Apple, the Harrison-penned " Sour Milk Sea", backed with "The Eagle Laughs at You" written by Lomax, made little commercial impression.
Īfter Epstein's death, The Beatles' new record label, Apple Records, took over responsibility for Lomax's recording career, and George Harrison became involved in production. More than enough tracks for an album were recorded but it was never released. During that period, CBS released two Lomax Alliance singles and one Jackie Lomax solo single.
He arranged for a single and an album to be recorded, and they signed to CBS before Epstein's death. In 1967, Brian Epstein took his latest line-up, The Lomax Alliance, back to the UK to showcase them at London's Saville Theatre. Lomax spent two years in the US with The Undertakers and a couple of other groups. In 1965 they decided to try their luck in the United States. They signed with Pye Records and released four singles, but they managed only one week on the UK Singles Chart with "Just a Little Bit" (#49 in 1964). They followed The Beatles' route through local venues before setting out for Hamburg, Germany, and securing a recording contract. In January 1962, Jackie Lomax left Dee and the Dynamites to join the Merseybeat band The Undertakers.
