Click on the Link above, to view the original single and its pressing variations. Originally the song was called "Don't Be Long" and recorded by a variation of the Byrds named on the recording as "The Beefeaters" {Oct 1964, Elektra). This was reissued in June 1965 on a short-lived Elektra subsidiary called "Bounty", after the success of The Byrds 'Mr Tambourine Man'
From Athens, Georgia - the album title comes from a venue where founding members Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley performed at the start of their careers: “There were no cool bars in town and Club XIII was the best we had - it wasn’t all that good, and our band [Adam’s House Cat] wasn’t particularly liked there....". // Click the Link above, left to view the article that I lifted that quote from.
According to an account in Elizabeth Rosenthal's book "His Song: The Musical Journey of Elton John", the song was inspired by Taupin's sighting of either a shooting star or a distant aeroplane.
