− | | | + | |introduction = <b>The Bird</b> was the third and final single to be released from [[The Time]]’s third album [[Album: Ice Cream Castle|Ice Cream Castle]], and was released about six months after the album. The single contained an edit of the track. The b-side, [[My Drawers]], was also an edited version of a track taken from the album. The 12" single also included a remix of [[The Bird]]. The single was released in North America, the UK, and Germany. Oddly, the release is credited to "Morris Day & The Time" on the sleeve (with a picture of the original incarnation of the band with [[Jimmy Jam]] & [[Terry Lewis]] and without [[Jerome Benton]]) and to "The Time" on the labels. |
