The second 45 contains the Heartbreaker song, a cover of Ruby Tuesday Rolling Stones, with lyrics by Mogol; on the back Black Sun, cover of Call My Name of Them; After this record it has the first of a long series of rotations in the formation (due to the call for military service of some of the components).
