The single "A Girl Like You" was released in May 1992 and became an international hit, scoring No. 2 on the "Billboard" US Modern Rock (Alternative Songs) chart on 15 August 1992. The song was later covered by Tom Jones, who then asked the band to write "Show Me (Some Devotion)" for him, both recordings appearing on "The Lead and How to Swing It" (1994). Jones also joined them on-stage for "All Virgos Are Mad", a 4AD anniversary concert in Los Angeles in January 1995.
