Request information in gaffa regarding availability of Kate videos (other than TWS, which I have). I am particularly interested in the Hammersmith Ogden(sp.) concert video which has been mentioned in the group. I live in Phila., Pa., so any mail order info would be appreciated. Kate is rarely played on radio in the area despite my pleas to all stations. I thought the Kate special on VH-1 was very good. Thanks for the info re: date and time. Much appreciated. This is my first posting. Will not be the last.

Really-From: decuac!decvax!bunker!rvd@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Robert Del Favero Jr.) I've just acquired a VCR, and I'm looking to start my video collection with some of Her Kateness' videos. I went to the local music/video emporium and found The Whole Story and (the video collection from TSW) for US$19.95 each, and snapped them up. I also found a Japanese import cassette of The Singles File for US$69.95. Is this a good price? It seems like a lot of money for only about 50 minutes of video, even if it is Kate video. Is this the tape that's unavailable as a domestic release? I know there's a Live at the Hammersmith Odeon tape as well, and I'm keeping my eyes open for it. Anything else I should know about? Any good video outlets in Connecticut or the Boston area? Thanks, Delf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert V.

I purchased copy of it ($40) about six months ago mail order from "The Video Depot" or some such now defunct place. It appeared to American in origin but in spite of the wishful thinking of many Love-Hounds and a note in Homeground, I'm almost certain that it's a bootleg. If I recall correctly the videos on _TSF_ that are not on _The Whole Story_ are, _Rolling the Ball_, _Wow_ (original), _Hammer Horror_, _Suspended in Gaffa_ and _There Goes a Tenner_ (have I forgotten any?). I guess the question is if you're willing to pay $70 for those videos. You should probably shop around some more in any case. The good news is that the _Kate Bush, Live at the Hammersmith Odeon_ is supposed to be reissued even as we speak. The live video is definately a _must have_ for all Kate fans. The price is either $20 or $30, I forget. Good luck! "Don't drive too slowly." Richard Caldwell AT&T Network Systems att!cbnews!nrc nrc@cbnews.att.com

I never intended to imply that there was never a legitimate Japanese release but someone here recently mentioned that they Japanese import version that they received looked supiciously like a bootleg. Is the legitimate release still available? >>If I recall correctly the videos on _TSF_ that are not on _The Whole >>Story_ are, _Rolling the Ball_, > > This mistake seems very common nowadays, and I'm not sure why.

Uuuugh, how could I have said such a thing? I guess it's this reoccuring nightmare I've been having of two Japanese women singing _Them Heavy People_ in lounge singer style. Just when I think it's coming to an end, Kate charges in and does a dance routine as the lounge band plays on. What could it all mean? ;-) Oh, and while they did manage to name _THP_ correctly, the video is mis-titled _The SingleS File_. "Don't drive too slowly."
