I found a promo 12" of Single Girl by Lush yesterday. I was quite
surprised to find it considering the backwater I live in.
Just to add fuel to the Lush=Punk debate. I would call the single 2 and a
half minutes of trashy pop. Trashy as in throw away not as in rubbish.
To me its probably more in line with the earlier Lush sound as opposed to
the great stuff on Split. It could have been due to the pressing or my
record deck but I  think the production suffers a little aswell. But
underneath all this there is a catchy little tune which will surely get
airplay.

The lyrics are well - trite

ie "Single Girl,
    I don't want to be  a single girl.
    Single Girl
     I don't want to be a single girl.

    I don't want to go to sleep alone tonight
    I don't want have to turn out the light "

Or something like that.

The promo was- one sided. Th b-side was completely unpressed. There's no
other cat no. -. The run out groove had " MNO  Lush"
 etched on it.  The packaging was a red cardboard sleeve with the centre
holes
taken out. There were some pinkish spirals on it and with a slightly
different Lush logo in the top corner and enlarged over the whole thing.

The single is out next Jan with 4 tracks. then another in february and an
album in march. They will be doing an extensive UK tour early this year
to be followed by the other important parts of the world.
