[rec.music.gaffa] Walk through the Fire

erich@crash.cts.com (Eric Hicks) (03/15/91)

Hi all,
This isn't a question specifically about KaTe, but since I've seen some talk
about Peter Gabriel, I thought I'd let fly with a quick question about PG.
Does anyone know where I can get a Peter Gabriel tune called "Walk through
the Fire"?  I heard it at my university's radio station when a friend of mine
worked there, and haven't managed to find it since. I think it's only been
released on a 12", but I'm not sure. My friend said that it had never been
commercially released, but I can't believe that a song so good would be kept
from those who would appreciate it most. (Well, maybe I can...) Any help would
be appreciated. In penance for posting a Gabriel message to Love Hounds, I'll
post three (count 'em, THREE!) messages concerning only KaTe and will also,
as a special ADDED bonus, go out and buy the Boxed Set so as to demonstrate
my solidarity. 8) Thanks in advance, gang...

As someone has already mentioned, one version is on the otherwise-dreaded
"Against All Odds" soundtrack.  I wondered if the version on the soundtrack is
the same as the version on the 12" single (sleeve has a photo of PG sitting 
down, big smile)?  I seem to recall someone posting to that effect once.  I've 
only heard the 12" version (it's great, as long as you make sure to grab the 
tonearm before it hits the Larry Carlton track that follows WTTF %).

If you really like WTTF, check out the demo version on the easily-found
"Games Without Words" bootleg (and copies thereof).  There are no vocals,
it sounds really eerie, and is generally a lot more spare sounding.  The same
boot has demo versions of "Milgram's 37," "Games Without Frontiers," and other 
tracks.  Cheapo demo quality, but a must for the serious PG fan.

If only there were Kate demos of this quality from the TD/HoL period... sigh.
