Earlier someone mentioned Cathy was still available. It is my understanding
from an update to THE KBC mag from about a year ago (have there been newer
ones??) that it is no longer available. Is this the case, or have they been
reprinted??? I am borrowing one in an attempt to scan the photos into my AMIGA
and if I do get them I will see that they are posted here....

Wow, my news feed finally lets me post. So this is my first post since about 1988 (actualy been a lurker here since 1984 in college, but since then, it has been hard to get a news feed, so I've missed alot). Several years ago, there was a large discussion regarding "Cathy", the book about kate by her own brother, John Carder Bush. At the time, only IED, and |>oug had read it. Also, at that time, it was only available in England, I believe. Well, I am no longer in college, and can afford the $72 the book was worth at that time, but do not remember how to obtain it. Bookstores here in Santa Cruz/ as well as in Seattle, where I moved here from have no records of it. Does anyone remember where to get the book. Is it still $72 dollars, and - has anyone read it? Lastly, I am interested in subscribing to Homeground, but do know the proper exchange rate. I think I still have an old address, but does anyone know how much a subscription would be in US dollars, it used to be 22 pounds if I remember correctly. Michael Scott PS Whatever happened to |>oug, anyway???

Over a year ago a flyer from the Kate Bush Club stated that there were only a few left. It seems very unlikely that there are any left now. In any case, the last I heard to order internationally you had to write Kindlight to find out the price for your location. I think you even have to include a bank check made out in pounds to cover their return postage. Kindlight is the only source for new copies of _Cathy_. I have seen a few of them floating around for sale, check Goldmine. The last address I have for Kindlight is: Kindlight PO Box 30 Welling, Kent DA16 3DL UK By the way, you mentioned "reading" the _Cathy_ book. There's really not much to read. _Cathy_ is a collection of John Carder Bush's photos of Kate as a young girl with captions for each photo. If you're expecting a biography you'll be disappointed. The photos are wonderful, however. > Lastly, I am interested in subscribing to Homeground, but do know the proper > exchange rate.

The current rate is #12.10 for one year in America. Any decent newspaper should have a section with foriegn exchange rates. You can send a bank check payable in pounds or apply the exchange rate yourself, add 7.5% for their conversion costs and send U.S. currency.

Jon Drukman states: >I'm surprized at the posts here that say "I listened to some Happy stuff >and I just don't see what the big deal is." I listened to some Happy stuff and I just don't see what the big deal is. > I know people who find KaTe too "screechy" as in Violin Song. They >catch on eventually though. Give Happy a chance, she's golden, just >as KaTe is. Happy and KaTe in the same sentence? No I don't think so. I received the "Warpaint" CD as a gift, played it, then played it 2 more times 'cuz I just knew I had to be missing something, I found one song (the last one) that I 'kinda liked then gave the CD away. I'm sure Happy is a very nice person but she sure 'aint no' KaTe Bush. Happy an American KaTe? Thats ludicrous at best. Michael Graham asks: >Were ALL of the photos from Cathy scanned - must be a short book if so. >What are the captions like? Michael if your looking at the scans that have 3 or more images per gif those are the ones I scanned and yes thats the eniter book, each image was a page, each B&W photo a little over 7x5, something like 27 of them. The book is in an interesting format, each photo page is proceeded by a page that has had the center cutout thus acting as a frame for the following photo, the captions were written on these proceeding pages below the "frame". In the captions John Bush (photographer/brother of course) talks about ecah photo a little, nothing spectacular but nice just the same. The book is lovely, nothing short of a treasure.
