Didn't know about the Lush connection. All I have by them is an
excellent 7" on the short-lived Head label ("She's Always
Hiding"/"Transparent") from 1986. Back in the day when Richard
Preston (predominantly of él fame) seemed to be producing absolutely
everything. I think the band broke up shortly after that, but then
there might have been a reunion a couple years later, with a 12" or
two on Creation. Or am I thinking of the Loft there? Or was there a
connection between to the two? Anyway, the songwriter from the
Servants had a solo mini album on Creation in the late 80's. David
Westlake is the name. Never bought it, but the track or two that I
had on tape were good.
Surely someone on the Shalala list will kick in with more info, so
you'd best monitor it there.
