I. INTRODUCTION
I.i. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION
+++ 7.2 adds some corrections - see A17, A18 & A20.
+++ 7.1 added the overlooked "All This Useless Beauty" (thanks, Marc!)
+++ 7.0 added (finally) a few items such as the _Splendor_
soundtrack, and "500" & "Ciao!" promos. Cleaned up a bit.
+++ 6.0 has Neil Impelluso as the new maintainer after Brian
(Reality) did a great job keeping it updated for years. I'll
do my best! I will soon try to clean up the video section with
information I have. Being that the group has disbanded, the
RUMORS & FUTURE section is now just RUMORS, which also needs
updating.
+++ 5.2 has a few new releases, and I updated it for the Lush
Webpage's new location.
+++ 5.0 is the post-_Lovelife_ version.
+++ 4.0 is a minor revision of the "E.C." version. I have
updated some of the bootlegs to include the Split tour
boots that have come out. Not much else has changed.
+++ The E.C. version ("Emma Correct"). After giving her
a copy of version 3.3 after a show, Emma was kind enough
to send me a VERY detailed set of corrections. These have
been incorporated into this version. I'm sure her
involvement should not be read as any kind of official
endorsement of this document or of any computer system
where it might be found.

II. DISCOGRAPHY
(All releases 4AD (UK) or Reprise (US) unless otherwise noted)
II.A. OFFICIAL RELEASES:
A1. "Scar" (1989) Recorded: (07.89), Released: (10.89)
{JAD 911 - 12"
JAD 911 C - cassette
JAD 911 CD}
a) Baby Talk (2.16)
b) Thoughtforms (2.41)
c) Scarlet (3.26)
d) Bitter (2.01)
e) Second Sight (2.39)
f) Etheriel (3.24)
+ Co-produced by John Fryer. Sleeve by Vaughan Oliver, Christopher
Bigg and Jim Friedman. Matthew Kirkcaldie writes: "_Scar_ [LP] has
BRIGHT salmon pink on the inside of the LP sleeve, with
illustrations from a Japanese textbook showing the kanji for "tongue"
and "elder sister" with the English words and a 50s-style line
drawing in a box, one to each side, in white on the pink. Very
vulgar overtones, this sort of pink cavity...and the choice of
words... The same things are on the reverse side of the folded
insert for the jewel case CD." "Etheriel" is about Meriel Barham,
now of Pale Saints. Emma Anderson writes: "She used to be in the
band and she was going out with a guy called Ethan. She wasn't really
into the band that much, and she was a lot more into Ethan... every
time we wanted to do something she was like, 'I can't do that because
Ethan's sick, or Ethan's something... Ethan's broken his fingernail
so I can't rehearse today...' so in the end we thought, well, this
isn't going to work out and Miki wrote a song about it. We blended
the two names together, Ethan and Meriel..."
Dark Image writes:"On the _Scar_ vinyl run-off grooves, there is a
quote on one side that reads 'I'll still fondle you' and on the
other side 'Fanny Tits Delight' Well, the reason for this was that
Emma didn't know the lyrics to Scarlet and Etheriel (go figure) So
she thought that Miki was saying 'Fanny Tits Delight' instead of
Vanities Delight and likewise for 'I'll still fondle you' (I'm
still fond of you)."

with another Jim Friedman photo on the outside (black and dark
green, a 2-colour print with a little full colour one in the middle)
and a nice inside with (a) the Lush logo faintly over a pink-yellow
background with the EP sleeves placed over it and a big
calligraphic Chris Bigg scrawl, and (b) on the other half, a whole
gallery of those dated pictures of Japanese women. The LP has the
same thing as a second sleeve, but the CD one can be detached at
the bottom while you have to open the LP one as far as you dare
without wrecking it." The Japanese version comes with lyrics to
all the songs except "Downer," "Leaves Me Cold" and "Hey Hey Helen."

From _Eyesore_: 'CADD2002CD is a limited edition deluxe fold-out
digipak. CADD2002 is a double 10" release. They both have similar
sleeves, which are pretty different from the other formats. The
run-out grooves read "What do you call Lush's..." / "bass player
in Japan?" / "Rippon in Nippon..." / "...wise words mate."
Also, U38956@UICVM.CC.UIC.EDU (Bones, Inner Sanctum, Sanctuary)
writes: "there is also a limited edition CD of _Spooky_ that
comes with a blue velour pouch. The pouch is imprinted with the
circles from the _Spooky_ cover, that is, where the logos are,
there are no fuzzy textures." A promotional version of this
release involved a brown paper bag with the "circle-Lush" logo
containing a promo cassette of the album.
Matt Tschantz writes: "The cassette has the circular logo and
Spooky logo in orange on a black background with 'advance
cassette' in white in small print at the bottom." Some versions
of this promo have been reported to contain an autographed XL
tour shirt.

tape put together by friend of ours at the time. It was very arty
& underground & us & Silverfish were the only bands on it. The
songs used were... the demos we sent to record companies. Indeed,
the ones that 4AD liked & agreed to pursue us with. They are not
the same recordings as on _Scar_."

l) downer(3.28)
m) baby talk(4.20)
n) tiny smiles(4.15)
o) leaves me cold(4.49)
p) monochrome(5.10)
+ This rather well-packaged bootleg CD from KTS (a rather prolific
Italian record company) is apparently an audience recording of an
English show. Though the disc purports to be "Recorded Live in
Europe 1991", I rather suspicion it's recorded in England in 1992,
perhaps during the _Spooky_ tour. The disc clocks in at about 65
minutes. The sound quality is mediocre (what you would expect from
an audience recording), lots of crowd noise and rather poor
resolution on the vocals (particularly Emma's). The set itself is
not particularly inspired; lots of long breaks between songs, and
some miscues. CD total time: (63.34).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
C2. _Lollapalooza '92: Lush & The Jesus + Mary Chain_ (1993)
Recorded (22.08.92) Released (?.93)

f) downer (3.22)
g) sweetness & light (5.46)
h) new song [sic] (4.25)
i) leaves me cold (2.53)
j) similar number of tracks by JMC
+ Clocking in at 77:34, this split CD boot features performances by
Lush and the Jesus and Mary Chain at Lollapalooza in Miami. e) and
h) are mistakes in the track listing. Note: This disc is both sold
singly and in a 3CD set also featuring Pearl Jam and Soundgarden's
sets from the same show.

+ A purportedly limited-edition (300 total) live bootleg vinyl
7-inch. Tracks a) & b) are "Live in London, 1990"; tracks c) & d)
are "Live in Paris, 1991". The picture sleeve cover is a nice photo
of Emma and Miki, and the back is a _Gala_-era promo photo of the
band. The record labels list the name of the record company and
call the recording the "'slush e.p." My copy is purple vinyl,
also spotted in grey. [-Reality]

"Bones, Inner Sanctum, Sanctuary" writes: "(1CS-100 Rating 10)
A VERY good bootleg. Great sound and mixing. This was a special
concert that Lush did in between their Aug 29, 1992 appearance at
Alpine Valley theatre WI and their appearance in Atlanta for
Lollapalooza '92. Moderate dialogue from Miki, and a frenzied
ending that included a mosh pit, yes a mosh pit! I didn't believe
it either until I ended up in it." Recorded and broadcast live by
Metro Mobile.

Dark Image writes: "There were only 1000 printed of their live
performance in Seattle. The sound is okay I guess and it's from
the Spooky tour ..On the cover has the band in four separate
corners divided into 4 equal parts with four different colored
background for each member. The funny thing is that it shows
Steve Rippon instead of Phil King..Hmmm..." [Sounds suspiciously
like the infamous NME "topless" poster - Reality]
Thanks to Cord Walter for the track listing.

a) downer

+ Recorded live in Surlorie, France.
Dark Image writes: "...it's quite good. It's quite raw in terms
of production." Josh Gentry writes: "I have this same recording,
but it is named 'Sparky the High Voltage Live Wire' from
'Shocking Records, Tashkent, Uzbekistan.' The 7" is pressed in
pink vinyl with blank yellow labels, the only groove notes being
'sr1' and 'sr2.' It is packaged in a folded piece of yellow paper
with simple xerox quality art of two babies looking like they were
stolen from a diaper package with a crudely drawn cartoon
electrical wire asking them if they want to play. Sound quality is
very good. 45rpm."
mesh@ansel.intersource.COM (matt matuga) also has one of
these, except his is yellow vinyl, with ROGS "SHOCKING ISN'T IT" on
the "sr I" side, and "CARE FOR A JOLT" on the "sr II" side.

a lot and laugh."

very poor, the songs are quite good." Emma Anderson writes:
"Meriel [now of Pale Saints] is on vocals here-- she wrote "Skin".
We used this demo to get gigs on the pub circuit in London.
We never send it to a record company. 'Sunbathing' was reworked
2 years later for the B-side of 'Sweetness & Light' [A3]." The
listed titles are those reported by Cord Walter. The titles in
brackets are those reported by Emma Anderson. Obviously, the names
in brackets are the correct song titles, but the names given by
Cord may reflect those used by the bootleggers (and those which
you may see if you ever stumble across this bootleg).

"This was recorded live at the _Melody Maker_ Tent at the Reading
Festival on the 26th of August 1994. It's distributed by
Kaliedscopic Music which is an Italian based company. The cover
of the CD has the whole band inside a Tea-Cup ride like the one
at Disneyland and they are looking towards the Camera. On the back
however, It has Emma and Miki standing against the wall. Miki is
dressed in a black mini-skirt with fishnets and a black
Sleevless T-Shirt that has the Tramps (not too sure on that since
it is hard to read the small print backwards) on it. Emma on the
other hand is wearing a nice flower blouse with a black Overcoat
and black and white stripe stockings. She is also wearing these
red lensed sunglasses and has all sorts of shopping bags in her
hand. On the inside sleeve it has a nice picture of Emma, Miki
and Chris looking at the Camera. The inside sleeve does fold
out and has yet another picture of the Original band (i.e with
Steve Rippon instead of Phil King) out in the country side.
One last comment on the Sleeve, it has some sort of Fly looking
thing on one of the pictures and in captions it says "Insects
do it better" The sound quality of the CD is about a 7. The
Vocals are well heard but the music seems distant. There are
a lot of electircal problems with their set and also some band
miscalculations. Lit Up is mentioned twice because half way
through the first try their equipment gave out or something
and they had to start all over. The second try though it
happened again so Miki said "Okay, so we'll leave that one for
now" There are some pretty funny comments between songs as well.
One of the most notable ones is from Miki; she says " No, Sorry
I don't get my tits out.....They're not actually real you know...
They're just two holes in a grapefruit".

which I think the U.S. will miss out on. It was shot at the same
time as the artwork for the sleeve of _Split_, i.e., in a disused
swimming pool. There is also some performance which was shot in
our rehearsal room in Camden, London. It was a small budget video.
About #3000. I'm sure there will be another video soon."

to see a video that a friend of mine recorded of Lush. It was an
interview put together by the Denver PBS music video show
"TELETUNES." This was incredible interview with everyone from Lush
(Miki,Emma,Chris, and Phil). Soon after the interview, I got to see
the full on stage performance of lush at the lollapalooza '92 fest.
Note: this was not an illegal bootleg recording of the show.
It was taken from several camera angles and done with full
permission from all the bands performing at Lollapalooza '92
(courtesy of Teletunes)."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
E26. They recorded live versions of "Kiss Chase" and "Hypocrite"
for MTV in 1994.

cities. Sound quality isn't the greatest.

II.F. ODDS & SODS
F1.A particularly "tasty" item is a poster (circa _Mad Love_) from
_Melody Maker_. This poster featured the four members of the band
naked from the waist-up (Miki & Emma are posed with arms modestly
crossed over their chests) and *body-painted* with swirls of metallic
colours. Each member is a different colour and "represents" the four
letters of the band's name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F2. The 'Lollapalooza' Ministry disc (Kiss The Stone) features
Miki and Emma on 'So What'. It was recorded around 8/92 in LA.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F3. MiloV@AOL.COM writes: "Hey, guess what, there is already
interactive software featuring Lush. I just downloaded it from
the Warner Records section on AOL. It's pretty big and only works
on a Mac but I'm really impressed with how cool it is. It has
samples of their songs and some animated photos with a really
wacky interface."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F4. On 1 June, 1994, Lush recorded a radio session for the BBC's
_Evening Session_. They did the tracks "Blackout", "Lit Up",
"The Childcatcher" and "Kiss Chase."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F5. On 28 June, 1994, Lush did the _Black Session_ in France which
included "Sunday Girl" by Blondie-- in French!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F6. There is a CD-ROM quarterly magazine called _Click Interactive_
(ish #1) that came out in at the end of 1994. It features an
interview with the band and the video for "hypocrite."

IV. RUMOURS
+ Was: Unconfirmed Rumour #1: It was once reported by somebody
somewhere that, during the Lollapalooza festival, Miki and Emma
hit it off so well with the members of Ministry that they
actually went into the studio and put down some vocals.
Emma Anderson comments: "Yes, we all got on very well with the
Ministry boys. However, we never went into the studio with
them nor do we have any plans."
+ Was: Unconfirmed Rumour #2: Emma had been hanging out with
techno people like Spooky and Drum Club. Emma comments: "Don't
know if this is of any use but I played on the Drum Club's LP
_Everything is Now_ on the tracks 'Sound System,' 'Spaced Out,
Locked In,' and 'Alchemy'. Recorded Feb '93? Released Aug '93?"
