still appearing as the closing verse. Other notable changes are that the original organ outro is played twice (once solo by Andersson, and the second time with the entire band.) This version is the standard version which appeared on The Hep Stars and most other compilation albums, including Hep Stars, 1964-69! and Cadillac Madness. The third version was the international single release in which Hedlund again sings the faulty opening verse, but that the organ outro is still played twice (again, once solo by Andersson, and the second time with the entire band.). Territories in which this version was released include the United Kingdom, Netherlands, West Germany, Italy and Spain. This is by far the rarest of the three versions, and the only one that has yet been released digitally. Release The band was initially unsure on whether they wanted to release "Wedding" as a single, similarly to the situation with "Sunny Girl". Andersson would later tell this to a reporter: "It was only Svenne and I who wanted to record "Wedding", the others thought it was too complicated." This was most likely due to the fact that "Wedding" further strayed the band away from their rhythm and blues and rock roots. The band eventually came to an agreement, and in May 1966, "Wedding" was issued as a single by Olga Records under the catalogue number SO 25. The B-side was "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again", a song that had previously been recorded by Elvis Presley for his eponymous album Elvis in 1956, an artist that Hedlund greatly admired and often tried to imitate. This rendition of "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again" feature The Jordanaires-esque backing vocals by the band, something not present on any other recordings by the group. "Wedding" first entered Kvällstoppen on 24 May at a position of number 7. The following week it had reached the top-5 for the first time, ascending all the way to number 1, occupying the top spot for four weeks before being knocked out by "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles on 28 June. Nonetheless, the single would go on to stay at number 2 between 28 June and 12 July 1966, a whole three weeks. The following week, "Wedding" had descended to number 5 and by 26 July it had exited the top-5 at number 7. On 2 August, it was at number 9 and
