Side A is a summer song if any, but it’s not about 1969. Adams revealed in an interview with CBSN in 2008:
A lot of people think it's about the year, but actually, it's more about making love in the summertime. It's using '69 as a sexual reference.”

List price:  Bryan Adams’ records are not listed in Goldmine catalogs.
