"Slight Return" is a song by English indie rock band the Bluetones, released as their first single in February 1995, in blue vinyl, limited to 2000 copies.[citation needed] The song is named after the subtitle for "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" by Jimi Hendrix. It was then re-released on 22 January 1996, as the second single from their 1996 debut album, Expecting to Fly. It was originally issued with "The Fountainhead" as the B-side. "Slight Return" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and is the band's highest-placing single. Bluetones frontman Mark Morriss said that the title of the song was initially a nickname, but as he was not good with naming songs, it eventually became the official title.[4]
