Really-From: woiccare@pebbles.sct.clarkson.edu Vickie sez: > Live At Hammersmith Odeon is being re-released by EMI Video. funny you should bring this up. two days ago, i found a copy of the video in a store for $20. it was in the official emi uk case, but the tape was obviously bootlegged (it had some nonsense about "merry som- thing-or-other productions" on it). or so i thought at the time. may- be this is some kind of pre-release copy of the american re-release? oh - i didn't buy it. maybe i should have. we'll see. > This is really for real! I have a copy of the info sheet > sent to record and video stores. I have no idea why EMI Video > decided to re-release it but I wonder if it has something to > do with the.....tour? i would think that it's more a case of cashing in on KaTe's new fame in america. a bit late perhaps - i would have thought such a release more likely last winter, but emi has always been slow. perhaps it's a way of saying "sorry" to the american purchasors of the box set? or maybe you are right and it's a preparatory move for an upcoming tour. last night, i was listeneing to the cathy demos and was struck by an interesting thought: wouldn't it be neat for KaTe to use some of those songs for an upcoming album *if* it indeed turns out to be more acoustic and simple as some have postulated? i would *kill* for a cleaned up track of "frightened eyes" with her developed voice. woj
