The a) side is a heavy funk rocker with wah wah guitar. Nice driving track in the early 70s Grand Funk Railroad tradition. The b) side is a soft folky number with faint Beatles undertones. No idea why this is labeled prog rock. Nothing of the sort. Hard rock, funk, and folk. Very incongruous. We see this disconnect between sides on 60s singles, but not so much in the 70s when bands were trying to promote an identity. Sweet Poison obviously did not have one. An identity that is. This 45 has a big rep, but I'm not buying it.
