In 1966 successful New Zealand band Four Fours tried their luck in London, changing their name to Human Instinct along the way. After acquiring management in Britain, they toured extensively and recorded for British labels Mercury and Deram.

Drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer returned to New Zealand after a couple of years and re-formed the band, bringing in guitar legend Billy TK (Billy Tekahika). After another visit to London, Human Instinct released three NZ albums 1969-71 with Billy TK on Guitar. Black Sally was one of two singles from the second, Stoned Guitar (1970).

The B-side, Tomorrow, is a version of Tomorrow I'll Go which had appeared on the UK album Confusions About A Goldfish (1969) by John Kongos, the South African singer-songwriter best known for the much-covered He's Gonna Step On You Again aka Step On.
