Love-Hounds-request@EDDIE.MIT.EDU.UUCP (01/19/87)
Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU IED is elated to find out how wrong he was about the CD. Thanks for the concrete info, Mike F. Also, to qualify another statement he made recently, it is true that the domestic vinyl release of The Whole Story carries the announcement that a video of The Whole Story is available, as well -- so not only the import (and domestic) CD says this, but the domestic record does, too. Unfortunately, this still does not make it true! IED (who, after nearly nine years as a Kate Bush fan, has learned to be cynical about announcements of forthcoming KT product) strongly suspects that this notice on the U.S. release was probably just overlooked by the EMI-America layout department when they used the UK art for the domestic version. With luck, there may be more concrete information about this puzzle in Love-Hounds in a couple of days. Applause to Jamie Andrews on a highly entertaining and illuminating debut posting. >Subject: Why Annie got kicked out of a choir > I wanted to respond directly to IED, but could not figure out a path back >to UCLA in a reasonable amount of time nor decipher what the IED's login >really is, so I thought the rest of the group probably wouldn't mind reading >this. > > Annie Haslam was kicked out of a choir because... to > -- Dan Vanevic Thanks for clearing this mystery up, Dan V. IED was completely confused -- he thought you were saying that KATE had been kicked out of a choir! Woops! Boy, IED is goofing up everywhere you look today, huh, folks? Regarding Dan Stewart's question, what happened to the other ten demos is one of the big mysteries which only Kate will ever be able to answer, and she probably never will. She has now amassed many, MANY more unused songs than that -- it has been suggested that there were more than two HUNDRED songs ready for performance before The Kick Inside was ever recorded. Kate is not likely to release any of the demos in the forseeable future, mainly because she still comes back to them occasionally, and cannibalizes bits and pieces of them for new music. She probably wouldn't want the process of her work to become so exposed. Anyway, some of the demos were rumoured to have come into an East German record company's hands, and the story is Kate clamped down on them hard to block the unauthorized release. (IED didn't make this stuff up, folks, he just got it from Doug Alan!) Oozing contrition for his past errors, this is IED signing off for now.
