Claim
The English psychobilly band King Kurt covered this song on an EP called America, released in 1986.
Correction
King Kurt's 1986 release "America" was issued as a single, not an EP.
Full reasoning
Multiple discography sources identify King Kurt's 1986 "America" release as a single/7-inch single, not an EP.
- A contemporary Record Mirror snippet refers to it as the band's "single, 'America'".
- EIL's release listing describes "America" (1986 UK limited edition shaped 7" Picture Disc single) and shows the two-track configuration "America" / "High And Mighty".
- 45cat's King Kurt discography also lists "America" / "High And Mighty" as a 7" release, with a separate shaped-disc variant.
Because the 1986 King Kurt release is documented as a single rather than an EP, calling it "an EP called America" is incorrect.
