| 1 | * CoveredUp: She covered up Billy Bragg's "A New England"; Creator/TraceyUllman covered up [=MacColl=]'s "They Don't Know" (albeit Kirsty was heavily involved with that particular cover herself). |
| 2 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Although the reissue of her debut album ''Desperate Character'' has dealt with one long-standing Keep Circulating The Tapes issue, there are still various B-sides from the first decade of her career that haven't re-appeared. Also in this category is the 1985 stopgap album ''Kirsty [=MacColl=]'', an UpdatedRerelease of ''Desperate Character'' which included three new tracks, only two of which are now available. |
| 3 | * MisattributedSong: Kirsty never recorded the folk song known as "Tell Me Ma" or "Belle of Belfast City". The version commonly misattributed to her is by Sham Rock and the vocalist is Anne Barrett, who sounds nothing like her. Quite apart from the very diferent timbre and range of the two singers' voices, Kirsty did not have, nor ever sing with, an Irish accent. |
| 4 | * MissingEpisode: Her synthpop album ''Real'' was this for a very long time - it was supposed to be the follow-up to ''Desperate Character'' but Polydor dropped her without ever releasing it. About half the tracks trickled out on compilations over the years, but the full set wasn't released until 2023, forty years after it was recorded. |
| 5 | * SimilarlyNamedWorks: Her song "Terry" is unrelated to the 1960s hit by Twinkle (to whom she was often compared), though it may have been a ShoutOut. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: [=MacColl=] was tapped to perform backing vocals on Music/TheSmiths' ''Music/TheQueenIsDead'', only for the band to throw out her parts due to Music/JohnnyMarr finding her harmonies "really weird." Frontman Music/{{Morrissey}} would instead provide the feminine backing vocals himself via pitch-shifting. [=MacColl=] and Marr would later end up working together anyways as session players on Music/TalkingHeads' 1988 album ''Music/{{Naked}}''. |
