subsidiary, Pre Records, for the movie The Alternative Miss World, a documentary about a British drag pageant of the same name. The film's title was changed to I Wanna Be A Beauty Queen for its American home video release. Nell is in the opening sequence of the film, in which she performs this song. The pictures featured on the front of the picture sleeve are taken from her appearance in the film, and the back of the sleeve features an assortment of some of the contestants of the pageant in the film.
The b-side features Nell accompanied only by a piano singing a slowed down version of the song.
On the actual record, in the inner groove where identification numbers are usually pressed into the vinyl, both sides have the following pressed into the disc: On side A, "A GREAT FILM ANDREW" is pressed, and side B says "BUY SOME FOR LULU."
This single has been out-of-print for a long time and is difficult to find. It was included on the "Songs From The Vaults" CD in the Rocky Horror Picture Show 15th Anniversary Box Set.
