Nash has said that he wrote "Carrie Anne" for Marianne Faithful, but was too shy to use her real name in it.
Though written by Hicks, Clarke and Nash, the flip side was originally released by The Everly Brothers on their album "Two Yanks in England" in 1966. The Hollies were actually the backing band on most of the tracks on that album.
Reportedly "Carrie Anne" is the first hit record to feature real steel drums.
