Hey ... if you really want to stretch, there IS a relation of sorts ...

When "Breaking Glass" was originally in pre-production, it was going to be a
film adaptation of the hit Thames TV series "Rock Follies." If you remember
"Rock Follies," you'll recall one of the three singers of The Little Ladies
-- who were morphed into a single single called Kate for the "Breaking Glass"
film -- was played by Julie Covington.

If you remember Julie Covington, you'll remember her nice, folksy version of
"The Kick Inside" on her "Julie Covington" lp. There was a rumor at some
point that KTB appeared on that version; but if she does, you can't hear her
and she's uncredited.
