From jpgr.co.uk:
[…] Released one week before the the album, “Back To The Egg”, and just a couple of months after “Goodnight Tonight”
which had been Paul’s third biggest selling single, “Old Siam, Sir” performed very badly chart-wise.The single was released in a styled coloured sleeve, and the record label featured a fried egg.
Although still with a Parlophone number, Paul was back with no label mentioned except “MPL”.The run-out groove has “NICK W” on the A-side.
