Between Vickie's postings and various other comments, most of the content of
the article in _ICE_ has been divulged, so it's not worth posting verbatum.

Here's the high points:
	Kate has been very much involved in assembling the set.  _TWW_ will
have 29 cuts (as previously discussed).  The 8 discs are housed in a compact
box (whatever that is), complete with a 26-page book of rare photos.  _TWW_
will retail for 80 pounds =~ $150.  It's not limited edition, and should
remain in EMI's catalog for some time.
	The EMI source quoted is Steve Davis: "She was very enthusiastic about
it.  It's very much her collection.  She came up with what songs were included
and how it should look, right down to the visuals and all the typefaces.  I
think that's what makes the fans happy, if they can see the artist's finger-
prints all over it."
	"If anything's left out, it's either because it doesn't exist or there
were licensing problems."

Is it just me, or is there a conflict between these two statements?  One says
that KaTe _chose_ which songs were included, implying some were left off.

The next statement says that _everything_ possible is there...so KaTe didn't
actually get to choose anything?

Confused,
Jeff
