Collections / God If I Saw Her Now (1977)
The only single release from Ant's debut solo album The Geese & The Ghost was this promotional-only disc (Vertigo 6837 406) that was released in France, with Collections on the A-side and God If I Her Now on the reverse.
We're All As We Lie / Squirrel / Sitars & Nebulous (1978)
To promote the release of Wise After The Event, an edited version of We're All As We Lie was released in the UK (Arista ARIST 192), the US (Passport PS 7914) and Holland (Vertigo 6079 625). The B-side to the release were the non-album tracks Squirrel and Sitars & Nebulous - the latter being one of the link pieces from the album in it's originally planned form. It was subsequently included in a slightly longer form on Back To The Pavilion as Von Runker's Yorker Music.
Whilst the UK and US singles were released in a plain single cover, the Dutch release had this unique picture sleeve which uses one of the promo photos of Ant originally taken to tie-in with the release of The Geese & The Ghost the previous year.
In addition, a promo version of the US 7" single was issued by Passport Records which also came in a plain cover.
The edited single version of We're All As We Lie and Squirrel have both been included on the Deluxe Edition of Wise After The Event.
Um & Aargh / Souvenir (1979)
To promote the release of Sides, an edited version of Um & Aargh was released in the UK (Arista ARIST 252) and Holland (Vertigo 6079 626). The B-side of both singles was the non-album track Souvenir. Both releases had their own picture sleeves; the cover seen here is the Dutch one.
In a further variation, Um & Aargh was issued as a promotional-only jukebox 7" release in France (Vertigo 6837 565) with Side Door on the reverse.
The edited single version of Um & Aargh and Souvenir have both been included on the Deluxe Edition of Sides.
RCA Records released Prelude '84 from 1984 as a single to promote the release of the album, coupling it with the album's closing track Anthem 1984.
This single was released in the UK (RCA RCA 102) and Spain (RCA PB 5378) - both releases came with picture sleeves with some variations between the two. The sleeve for the UK release is seen here; the design for the reverse used a photo of Ant in the studio at Send which was also included on an insert included with initial copies of the UK vinyl pressing of 1984. The rear of the Spanish sleeve included a short text biography of Ant on a plain background.
Both tracks on the single are exactly the same as the album versions.
To promote the release of Tarka in 1988, PRT Records released a 'single mix' version of The Anthem From Tarka as a single (PRT PYS 18) with the non-album track The Rising Spring as the B-side. The single was also released by EMI Records in Australia (EMI 2233); this version came in a company sleeve.
The UK release came in the picture sleeve seen here.
The 'single mix' of The Anthem From Tarka has yet to appear on any other release. Part of The Rising Spring is included in Movement 2 of Tarka on the 1996 CD re-issue but the full length version of the track has not been released elsewhere.
