I notice that this track appears as the b-side to the last two singles that they released for EMI. A most unusual occurrence.

Does anyone know the backstory to this ?

Also, were these two singles standalone ? Did they not appear on any LP either of the era or retrospectively?

I'll try to answer your question but I don't know specifically the reasons concerning The Peddlers release but here are some points to think about.

Multiple record labels. Having different labels to do the promotion in other regions takes advantage of their knowledge of their audience/customers. From getting it on the right radio stations, into the appropriate stores and to advertise your album/concerts/gigs to the right set of eyes. 

These different record labels will want to make sure their version of the album makes as much money as possible. So in some cases changes have been made to album releases. (Compare the Spanish and UK covers of 'Birthday')

Cultural and political climate may also be a factor but I feel The Peddlers won't fit into this category except for cover art (Check out the French cover art on Suite London). So in short some labels will release songs that are appropriate for their perceived audience. So there's going to be anomalies over different territories. As you know The Peddlers were covered by Philips Records, CBS Records International and EMI Records over the years, each owning their own recordings to release as fit.

Another example is that there's a 1975 New Zealand release by EMI (1088) Side A: You And Me Together - Side B: There Were Times. The side B song is from Roy's album 'Heavy on the Light Side' / 'Mr Peddler'. This 45 release never made it to the UK.

I hope this helped little.

All the best

Paul
