The most well-known version of the song, the one released as a single, is of shorter duration. However, nearly all released versions of the single version have been in monaural sound as no stereo master had been known to exist. A stereo incarnation of the single version has since become available on the compilation CD Dick Bartley Presents Classic Oldies: 1965-1969.

In 2005, Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher filed suit in the Royal Courts of Justice against Gary Brooker and his publisher, claiming that Fisher co-wrote the music for the song.^[7] Fisher won the case on 20 December 2006 but was awarded a 40% share of the music copyright, rather than the 50% he was seeking and was not granted royalties prior to 2005.^[8] Gary Brooker and publisher Onward Music were granted leave to appeal, and a hearing on the matter was had before a panel of three judges during the week of October 1, 2007. The decision, on 4 April 2008, by Lord Justice Mummery, in The Court of Appeal was that even though Fisher had 'contributed the organ theme' and was thus entitled to co-authorship,^[9], he should receive no royalties as he had taken too long (38 years) to bring his claim to litigation.
