It was the first among the now traditional football songs recorded by the latest England team in support of their endeavours.

I Can't Tell the Bottom From the Top would eventually settle at a peak of Number 7 and would mark the penultimate time that the group would enjoy such a high placing. The track features Elton John on piano and, of course, the fantastic vocals of Allan Clarke:
Until next time...
