"Wild Thing" on one side (and various hits on the B-sides), most of them in
Europe and most of in 1966. Because of a distribution dispute, the single was
available on two competing labels: Atco and Fontana. Since both pressings
were taken from the identical master recording, Billboard combined the sales
for both releases, making it the only single to reach #1 for two companies
simultaneously!
