Lonely Soul Single release

[Leknih]

Why did Lonely Soul never got a proper release? Any infos, any rumour, any flubdub?

[Tinks]

Because they released Be There, Bloodstain, Rabbit in Your Headlights instead? Maybe Mr Ashcroft didnt want it releasing!

[Mo'Matt]

Bloodstain as a single? GTFO Tinks!
Dunno hink. It's probably too long. 2 singles is enough I reckon.

Id like to know what went on here too. I much prefer lonely soul over be there, and be there wasn't even on the LP.

I would guess that it may have something to do with Richard Ashcroft being a prissy little bitch?

this is likely. however something must have happened. if you agree to work with people on a track, i can only assume you'd want it to do well as a single. not sure why i've never thought about this before - maybe it's already been discussed at some point.

I think I remember at the time UNKLE had trouble getting a release for Rabbit? it was more to do with Thom Yorke's management rather than the artist. It only ended getting a UK release because they were worried about the affect it would have on Radiohead and the confusion it might cause in the U.S. for Radiohead who were at the time starting to make some waves over there.

For Lonely Soul, it is just sad. I understand the Radiohead management, but I really dunno why Ashcroft or his management should have said NO to a release, he did another thing with the Chems which hit the charts, with a great video that should never be forgotten:

Record company people are shadeyyyyyy!

It's got to be the management. The artist wants as much stuff out there as possible!
