Single Release
The "Love And Mercy" single backed with the rare B-side "He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body To Move" was released through Sire Records in the United States in July, 1988, and in the United Kingdom in August 1988. It failed to make any impact on the charts.
A re-recording of the song was issued through Oglio Records as a single in November, 2005 along with a new Wilson composition, "Walking Down The Path of Life", that could only be purchased on the internet. A special Brian Wilson-autographed edition was also available for purchase at a much steeper price. According to the website responsible for selling the single, the proceeds from the single were to be put towards helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or release:
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
