See That Girl (1979 - 2000): 8CD Box Set + Exclusive Bonus 7"

Exclusive bonus 7": Originally scheduled for release as a 7-inch single on the iconic Stiff Records label in October 1979, this title was allocated the catalogue number BUY 57, but was never released.

The A-Side was written by Kirsty with Simon Crowe and Pete Briquette of the Boomtown Rats. The picture sleeve uses an unpublished contemporary photo of the trio taken by acclaimed photographer Adrian Boot, and is sure to become a collectors item for fans of Kirsty and of the label.
