"Falling In Love Again" was Kevin Ayers’ final release on Island Records. The song, written in 1930 by Friedrich Hollaender was originally popularized by the legendary actress Marlene Dietrich in her film Der Blaue Engel. After Ayers’ recording, it has subsequently been covered by a diverse collection of acts including Linda Ronstadt, Marianne Faithfull, Bryan Ferry and The Puppini Sisters. The flip side, ‘Everyone Knows the Song’ was an Ayers original. After the release of this single Ayers signed to Harvest Records and both tracks became part of his 1976 album, Yes We Have No Mañanas (So Get Your Mañanas Today). The single was also re-released a few months later by Harvest in parts of Europe but featuring the Ayers original, 'The Owl' on the B-side.
