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...) |

Etc:
After failing to generate any radio interest, Eat The
Music was pulled and replaced by Rubberband Girl
in the UK. Apparently, it was a last minute decision,
because the singles share the same catalog number (EM
280) and B-side (Big Stripey Lie). (And no, I
don't own it -- the sleeve shown here is actually the US
CD single...) |

Etc2:
It was supposed to be issued in the same configurations
as Rubberband Girl was: on 7" vinyl,
12" picture disc and 3-track CD single. The 3rd
track (on the 12" and CD) was going to be the Madagascan
Mix of Eat The Music (which is the same as
the 12" Version released in the US), but
they were never pressed. |

Etc3:
With so few in circulation, this single is incredibly
rare. Record Collector (the source of
information for this listing) estimates the value at over
$2000 (US), making it the rarest Kate single in the
world. |
