 Some sources list its release date as being late 1965 and other sources list it as being June 1966.However, the catalogue number of the Surfaris' single is Decca 31954, which when cross-referenced with other contemporaneous Decca single releases, allows the release to be conclusively dated to a May–June 1966 time frame.A June 1966 release date is further corroborated by the discographical information on the website of the single's producer, Gary Usher.
