The word girl - Scritti Politti

'The word girl' was released as the fourth single from Scritti Politti's 1985 album Cupid & Psyche 85. It turned out to be the band's biggest hit, peaking at number 6 in the UK singles chart. 

This shaped picture disc may have helped sales. It shows a photograph of the band, placed over what looks like a letter, which shows part of the lyrics of the song. The B-side of this picture disc shows an envelope, appropriately enough. It is quite astounding that the disc has survived so well after all this time. As you can hear, it is in excellent state.

My collection: 7" single no. 8495
Found: Discogs.com, received 4 November 2026
Tracks: 'The word girl' / 'Flesh and blood'
