CommentsRecorded at: M.C. Studios, Los Angeles, CA. Mixed at: Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA (MCA Records) Jeff Lynne appears courtesy of Reprise Records Mike remembers, "I had a demo that was half the speed of the final record. I was playing that riff with kind of a slow AC/DC beat. Jeff heard it and said, 'That's a great riff but you should put a backbeat across it.' Tom and Jeff took the riff and wrote the rest of the song around it. I was delighted, I'd had that riff laying around for a long time." The promotional music video was directed by Jim Lenahan.
