Yeah, it was an ALBUM TRACK, one of those rare examples of songs that "got noticed" (as had IYCRMM several years before) and received unpromoted radio play that the record company responded to, by pushing it out as a single. Heck, I wasn't aware of the full backstory until the last year or so, where it was revealed that Gord was on one of his outdoor excursions when the record company wanted to put it out as a single, but at a shorter running time, and Gordie had to "phone in" instructions of how to edit it down. I think that alone shows that the song was not initially intended as a single.
