Lola, MSG, & Sell Out

Ace:

And even then it's only implied: "She walks like a woman and talks like
a man." "Boys will be girls and girls will be boys/It's a mixed-up,
muddled-up, shook-up world except for Lola." & "I'm glad I'm a man and
so is Lola." It was meant to be ambiguous, no doubt to beat the censors.

Ryan:

The broadcast was tricky (and there is an "import" CD from it)...if you
do get it back (and I hope you do!), listen to it closely. The crowd is
stereo, but all of the vocals and instruments come from the middle. If
it turns out that you do have a true stereo, please EMail me privately
and perhaps we can work out a trade. Thanks.

Phil:

I think we've crossed wires here (no XTC content intended). I was
speaking of Fortune Teller. Tattoo IS on the US SO...if you Brits didn't
get it, "you was robbed!"
