With Tug Of War (the album) dropping out of the charts, a second single was extracted to boost sales. It had the desired affect, turning around the fortunes of the album.
The non Tug Of War B-side was recorded during the same sessions, with Paul playing all instruments except clarinet, and backing vocals by Paul, Linda and Eric Stewart (ex-10cc).

Both formats were released in matching picture sleeves, which were designed by Hipgnosis, and photographed by Linda. The musicians pictured on the rear with Paul; Eric Stewart, and Linda - top left, Ringo and Steve Gadd on the right, and George Martin bottom left. The labels are classic Parlophone.

I also have a rare promo copy Spanish import (catalogue number 10C 006-064.845) which is identical in format, but as you can see from the label below, clearly says "promotion copy" ....
