They do, yes - they were just rebadged. I actually did a whole blog about these years ago and Chet Selwood, who set up the series with his sister Bee, got in touch and gave me a bunch of information:

If the title of this new single sounds a bit St. Christopher-y, it's not an accident. This Indonesian musician is obviously a huge fan of Sarah records! (Just check out the tracks on his 2020 album 'Decades').

I realise i have been very quiet on here in recent months. I have been writing and tinkering but, in the meantime, I thought it might be nice to post some old photos. Here is one taken at Maxwells, Hoboken, NJ (I think) in Nov 1990 on Lush's first tour of the US. Interesting setlist on the wall.
