This is a 7" single, and was Little Nell's very first foray into disco music. There were two releases, one by A&M Records in the U.K. and the other by Festival Records in Australia. A&M Records released this on both black vinyl and red vinyl in the U.K., but both pressings are identical apart from the color. One very interesting thing to note about this recording is the fact that it was put together by two of the same people that helped to create the original Rocky Horror Show: Richard Hartley and Brian Thomson. The single was actually produced by Richard Hartley, while both of them are credited with writing the three songs. "Do The Swim" from this single is perhaps Little Nell's best known track. So popular in fact that she even appeared in a music video for it, which basically consists of her running around and being cute in a little swimsuit (yay, Nell!). A blooper from her performing "Do The Swim" where her swimsuit top falls off (how unusual...:-) has also appeared on one of the 'Bloopers and Practical Jokes' type shows before, with the standard red dot covering up her breast for the American TV audience. "Do The Swim" was released on CD as part of the Songs from the Vaults CD in the Rocky Horror Picture Show 15th Anniversary Collection. Neither "Stilettos and Lipstick" nor "Dance That Cocktail Latin Way (Tropical Isle)" has ever been officially released on CD. Finally on the back cover of the album there are several pictures of her from various sources, including The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jubilee. Each picture has its own cute little quote from Little Nell: * "I knew all along what gentleman really preferred." * "The Rocky Horror Picture Show took me from the street to the boards...and back again." * "I had a certain naive charm." * "Rock Follies decided me I was a size queen - 35 mm or more!" * Jubilee - "Auditioning co-stars has never been so much fun."

	Do The Swim - 2 minutes 42 seconds (160x120, 30 fps, 6.2 MB). Little Nell performs her "hit" song Do The Swim. Granted this isn't much more than Little Nell dancing around in a red swimsuit, but it's cute nonetheless...:-) She was apparently a member of the Australian swimming team for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.
	Do The Swim (London Weekend Show) - 2 minutes 56 seconds (540x358, 27 fps, 11.1 MB). Little Nell has her famous swimsuit "wardrobe malfunction" (several times... you just can't keep the girl covered) while performing part of Do The Swim, in 1975 during the closing credits for an episode of The London Weekend Show. This is the original uncensored version of the video, which was shown as an outtake on the 1977 BBC show It'll Be Alright on the Night. The clip made the rounds in the U.S. as well, including TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes with Dick Clark.
	Stilettos and Lipstick (London Weekend Show) - 2 minutes 42 seconds (528x360, 29 fps, 11.2 MB). Little Nell performs "Stilettos and Lipstick" in its entirety in 1975, for an episode of The London Weekend Show that was talking about the U.K.'s denim craze at the time. This is the same television show that featured her famous Do The Swim swimsuit wardrobe malfunction.
