I was in Downtown Kingston one day in Randy’s record shop and the guy who runs Randy’s said that this version outsold [Ken Boothe’s original track] “When I Fall in Love” when it was released. So the instrumental version was bigger in a sense but they sold more when it was pressed [as an instrumental]. That was interesting for me, that the instrumental can outsell the vocal.
