Songfacts®:

This was written by Yoko Ono, was produced by her, John Lennon and Phil Spector, and was released on the Apple label January 21, 1972 as the B Side of "Mind Train."

This was not though the first recording of the song; in his authorized biography of Al Stewart, Neville Judd reveals that it was actually recorded, apparently for the first time, in the basement flat at number 10 Elvaston Place. Al moved there on January 1, 1968, and no, his relationship with Yoko was strictly professional, by that time he had already hooked up with Mandi, the love of his life and the woman who nearly wrecked his head, until he met his future wife at the age of 42.

When Yoko recorded the 45, she sent him a copy.
The song opens with wintry sound effects, and has a Japanese feel to it, though it remains to be seen if this is for the obvious reason, accidental or perhaps even illusory. >>>
