| • | Big Stripey Lie Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: A really distressing song in which a woman attempts to come to terms with being betrayed by her lover. (*My* interpretation, mind you; and a pretty depressing one at that...) | |
| • | Running time: 3:31 | |
| • | Etc: In the Netherlands and a couple other European countries, the 2-track version of Rubberband Girl shown here was issued as a replacement to 7" vinyl. A 3-track CD single (with the same track listing as the UK version) was released simultaneously. | |
| • | Etc2: The packaging was a bit different as well -- the 2-track versions were issued in cardboard sleeves (not in jewel cases, like the 3-track releases). | |
| • | Etc3: Three different versions of Rubberband Girl were released commercially: the LP mix shown here, an extended mix, and a disco version called the US Mix which was released towards the end of 1994 on the UK And So Is Love single. Oddly enough, the US Mix was never officially issued in the US. |
