Rummaging around in the dusty corners reveals a record by The Freshies. The band fronted by Chris Sievey. Sievey later went on to create the character with the papier-mâché head, Frank Sidebottom.
At the time the single was released there was an 'A' board in the Manchester Arndale Virgin store next to the checkout which said something like "This is the certain girl!" There was usually a bloke on the checkout when I went in so she was probably having a break from all the autograph hunter attention.
Here's my copy, the BBC radio friendly version, which doesn't have her autograph.
And that is the actual Virgin store.
This version is going for 99p on eBay. The RAZZ version with the original title goes for around £18. I'll keep hold of this copy then, it doesn't occupy that much space.
