I don't think it was improvised.  I believe (if memory serves correct)
that it was recorded for a radio broadcast (but it was recorded prior to
the show).  I seem to remember that the drum and bass tracks are on there
because Keith Tenniswood was into that style at the time (could be wrong
though).  I agree that it is a good release but not a strong release.

also, swimming not skimming is technically a single as well (at least
according to the folks at emissions)
