Obscurist House of Love question re B-sides

Could anyone confirm that the House of Love tracks containing the lyrics

1. You're so perceptive/I love your face

2. Shoulders rub with the Superman

and

3. Well you cry on a shoulder to help someone

are Love 10, Skin 2 Phase 2 and Rosalyn respectively.

I think from Crush Me and Shine On CD singles.

Thanks

Well, you are correct as to which lyric goes with which song. I have physically gone back to listen to these just to make sure. "Rosalyn" was on the Shine On CD single, but neither Love 10 nor Skin 2 Phase 2 appeared on the "Crush Me" CD single. "Love 10" was only available on the 7" and 10" versions of the "Crush Me" single, and "Skin 2 Phase 2" was only on the 10". Thanks for the trip down memory lane dh!

Here's a site that spells things out in detail (if you scroll down below the Guy Chadwich solo stuff):

I can't believe I'm the only one who responded to this thread.

I've got some of these on big black vinyl things, but it's awful complicated to get it together to play them. "Rosalyn" is on the Shine on 12", along with "Allergy". I've got the "Crush me" 10" too somewhere.

I'll dig them out and listen to them the next time I power up the record player; probably the next time I fancy listening to the Marillion LPs.
