Lies

"Lies" was considered to be the most commercial of the two. Both songs were included on the album Just Supposin'.[1]

250,000 copies were issued with a picture sleeve; the first 100,000 printed in colour, the rest were printed in black and white.

Don't Drive My Car

"Don't Drive My Car" was mispressed twice - once as "Don't Drive My CAF" (French pressing) and once as "Don't Drive MYICAR" (later UK pressing).

The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.[2][3]
