The Single File 1978~1983 is a boxed set released on 23 January 1984,[2] available only on vinyl. It contained all Kate Bush's 7" singles and their B-sides up until that point, and her live EP On Stage. The box set primarily included her UK singles. The European single "Suspended in Gaffa" was not included but "Ne t'enfuis pas (remix)" single was. The boxset also included a lyric book.

"I'm surprised that I've got this amount of material together in five years," Bush remarked. "I'm thrillled, really… I mean, it is a form of 'greatest hits'. It's just put in a box and it's a nicer way of doing it."[3]
