I have read in this newsgroup that Kate Bush cds are difficult to find
and very expensive when one does find them.  Tower Records said they
sell them for about $20 when they have them.  Well, for those of you
in the Washington D.C. area or with friends here, Kemp Mill Records,
a large chain, sells Kate Bush cds for the same price as the majority
of their other cds, i.e. $13.99 .  On Fridays and Saturdays they sell
all cds for $1.00 off.  On Saturday January 24, the Kemp Mill store
in Falls Church, VA had about two dozen copies of "The Whole Story"
for $12.99 .

I won't comment on the quality of the performance, but the quality of
the sound on this cd is below par.  It is muddy, flat, and dull.  It
appears that the person who supervised the remixing and digitization
didn't care very much.  Perhaps the lp is better.

[I have heard rumors from other people that the domestic CD of *The
Whole Story* sounds shitty.  I cannot confirm this because I do not
have it.  I own the British import CD, which to me sounds fine -- a
little bit hissy, but otherwise okay.  Nancy Everson tells me that
she has seen at Newbury Comics a domestic version of *The Kick
Inside* on CD, complete with the Tammy Whynette cover.  Maybe it
beginning to look like we will eventually someday see *The Dreaming*
on CD! -- Doug]
