> All these people who are so disappointed with the Lush album should check out some of the European single b-sides - particularly "Tinkerbell" from the first CD (of 2) of "Single Girl." It sounds like the old classics and throws in a wooden flute (ala Troggs' "Wild Thing") just for good measure. - Tim Mohr

> The Sex Pistols may be playing on several continents this summer, but don't look for a stop in Greece. Greek promoter Niko Sachpasidis passed on booking the group because "the music and audience the band associates to (sic) is the punk audience and they are the ones that will cause problems to the extent of riots." Mr. Sachpasidis went on to explain, "We have been very careful over the years with bands that we promote and with the precautions we take, we have succeeded in establishing high standards. I do not want, therefore, for the sake of one band to risk ruining the live industry in Greece, as it will take a long time for the concert goers to regain their faith in live shows. For this reason, I personally ask that you do not offer this show to any other promoter in Greece, as I do not believe that anyone will be able to foresee or prevent any major problems which shall be inevitable."
