Hello - I've been reading rec.music.gaffa on and off for about
two years or more now, and regularly whenever I'm at school, but have
never really bothered post anything. I'd never even heard of our
beloved Kate before I happened upon this board, but I now possess all
of her regularly issued CDs, as well as assorted 12-inches, singles,
and other esoterica, and look forward to the issuing of the boxed set.
This said, I would like to have some suggestions on what to
be purchasing, i.e. the Kate items which are most important, best to
listen to or look at...you get the point. There's a used record store
near here (Amherst College, MA) which has a pile of Kate singles, but
I don't really know if $35 for _The Man With The Child In His Eyes_
single is a good price, for instance. Also, how easy is it to find
bootleg CD material?
Thanks in advance. And I'm very envious of all of you who get
to go to see Kate in London. Tuition at $20,000 a year seems to
rule out a lot of activities, however...

Also, how easy is it to find > bootleg CD material? $35 is probably a little inflated...i know a place where i can get it for $15 (two places in fact, come to think of it...). you know, this might not be a bad idea, if someone could compile a price list of KaTe items for those who are collecting. as for cd boot stuff, i can think of the following items: the baktabak interview some other interview about which i have no information (but have the cd) the abbey road interview burning desires (shoddy transfer of the hammersmith film) KaTe bush live (excellent transfer of the hammersmith laserdisc) cd stuff isn't that hard to find (hell, i found some in morristown, nj and a place in the middle of kansas), but sometimes is elusive as it moves faster than lps these days. woj

Wait for the box set to come out and get everything official in one fell swoop! I'm sure Main Street Records (in northampton, just down the road from you) will get a few copies in. I used to go there to get new exciting Kate stuff when I went to UMass. >hm, interesting question. stuff that i would recommend you get a hold >of somehow: > > jsd's mixes (just kidding :) Hey, whaddya mean, just kidding? That's an ESSENTIAL part of the Kate experience! And I've even improved Jenn's vocal part thanks to my new super deluxe reverb unit. Yes, I can make my mixes just as muddy as Kate's now thanks to digital reverb magic... -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I've been reading gaffa almost religiously since news of the boxed set and a possible tour. I thought it was time I did some writing for a change. My boss just handed me a copy of "CD International". They have the boxed set available for $109.96 + $20.00 S&H (call # B12-B082514-C). They boast the lowest price in the country (US). They accept VISA, M.C., and checks. The phone number is (503) 654-4920. Unfortunately I already purchased mine at a local store for $159.00 + tax. I guess that isn't too bad compared to some of the other prices I've seen. Anyone out there who buys a lot of imports should also think about giving this number a call - from what I know the prices and delivery times look pretty good Have fun, Joel treadway@ohstpy.mps.ohio-state.edu treadway@jabberwock.shs.ohio-state.edu

The The company cannot be CD International, they don't sell CDs, I think you are thinking of Overseas Shopper which is giving away CD International books when you spend over $100. They are shipping from Spindle Records in Canada. -- -Dave datta@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu [....uwm!uwpvacs!datta] Don't you wish there was good fractal technology in the 60's? -Me
