Elastica put out "Line Up" as a single at the end of January 1994, on the heels of "Stutter", and it turned up again on their self-titled debut album in 1995. Justine Frischmann wrote it, Marc Waterman produced and mixed it, and Deceptive Records released it. It's Britpop with its claws out: taut, snotty and impatient, all attitude and no wasted motion. It hung around the UK Singles Chart for three weeks, topping out at 20, and "Connection" came next.
