Kleenex were a four piece all girl band from Switzerland. They were forced to change their name to 'LiLiPUT' when Kleenex the tissue giant threatened legal action (the same happened to Actifed (see earlier posting) - a trivia question for you experts - are there any other bands this that happened to?).
'Ain't you' was their first UK release on Rough Trade, although officially their first release was a 4 track ep in their native Switzerland which included this single plus two other tracks. This ep was re-released in 1984 on Sunshine records. I have to admit I bought this single because I liked the look of the bleached hair bassist Klaudia Schiff on the front cover, and was pleased to find that the music was as good as well.
The cover on Ain't you was a fold out poster in black and white, the EP that was re-released lazily using the same poster cover but added some colour (see the scans). I say lazily as the poster only has the track names for 'Ain't you' and 'Hedis' Head' and the EP has two further tracks that are not listed on the cover.
I have included both the Ain't you single and the two other tracks from the EP, so basically what you get is the original EP.
