Rubberband Girl B2. Big Stripey Lie Kate Bush (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. Her eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic lyrics have made her one of England's most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years. Bush was signed by EMI at the age of 16 after being recommended by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. In 1978, at age 19, her début song Wuthering Heights topped the UK charts for four weeks and made her the first woman to have a UK number one with a self-written song. "Rubberband Girl" was released September 6, 1993 and peaked at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart. "Rubberband Girl" marked Bush's return from her third three-year hiatus. Not counting "Rocket Man" (her contribution to the Elton John tribute in 1991), this was her first UK release in 39 months. Three different versions of "Rubberband Girl" were released commercially: the LP and extended mixes shown here, and a disco version called the U.S. Mix which was released towards the end of 1994 on the "And So Is Love" single. Oddly enough, the U.S. Mix was never officially issued in the U.S. The B-Side to the single was "Big Stripey Lie"; a distressing song in which a woman attempts to come to terms with being betrayed by her lover.
