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:
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
