Petrol (song) Totally Explained

Everything about Petrol 1994 Single totally explained

"Petrol" was the second single released from the 1994 album, "Trailer", by the Brit pop band Ash, and their first single on Infectious. It was released on August 15 1994 on CD and a limited 7" format. Only 500 copies of the 7" format were released, and came with a numbered picture sleeve.
   "Petrol" was first recorded on the "Garage Girl" demo tape, and later appeared on Ash's debut live album, "Live at the Wireless", and again on Ash's first greatest hits collection "Intergalactic Sonic 7″s". The song is said to be about being "litched" by a gang.
   The B-side, "The Little Pond" first appeared on the "Garage Girl" demo-tape. Tim Wheeler has expressed his dissatisfaction with this recording, and has even mentioned re-recording it as an acoustic b-side on a future album.
   The second B-side, "A Message From Oscar Wilde and Patrick the Brewer" is a spoken-word track, lasting just 30 seconds, and consists of an excerpt of a tape Tim was sent, consisting of two of his Dutch friends, Oscar and Patrick, talking to each other. This track also appears on the "Cosmic Debris" B-sides collection and on Ash's debut album "Trailer". The third b-side (CD only), "Things" first appeared on the "Shed" demo tape. Mark Hamilton claims that "Things" is his least favourite Ash song of all time.
   The music video consists of footage of Ash playing the song, intercut with footage of petrol related objects ie. oil rigs, cars, fire, trucks etc.
   The song was released in the U.S. as a 7" single in 1994 on the Generator Records label, with a remixed version of "Petrol" by Ben Groose.
