Hello Fellow Love Hounds, Today's question: is there any difference between the Japanese and UK editions of the _This Woman's Work_ box sets? Other than the paper strip on the outside of the Japanese box, that is. -- John -- If you are interested in joining an XTC mailing list, drop a line to chalkhills-request@presto.ig.com.

The Japanese one is the famous picture of Kate in a pink Leotard. (For Americans, the British cover is the only one that Kate chose herself, it's the "kite" cover. There is also a Canadian cover.) I've been told that the cover of _Never For Ever_ is also different, but I doubt this because I never heard of a different Japanese cover for this album. Also, some claim the sound is better than the British box set. I don't know if this is true. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

It looks like some sort of chronology of Kate's career. At least that's what was in the Japanese set at the Kon this weekend. Heeeey, what happened to the imfamous B-sides liners that someone was working on? :-) "Don't drive too slowly." Richard Caldwell AT&T Network Systems att!cbnews!nrc nrc@cbnews.att.com
