Got my 7" (w/ gatefold sleeve) and 12" versions of the UK "Love and Anger" today. I was under the mistaken impression that "Ken" wasn't on the 12" or I wouldn't have bought the 7", but I'm sure glad I did! I was listening to the B-side, thinking, "Gee, this isn't as good as some of her other stuff - and that Del Palmer has a ways to go as a mixing engineer", and then I noticed a subtle difference in the wording of the "Love and Anger" credit on the 7" and the 12". And then I looked, and, sure enough, there were exactly four more seconds of music on the 12" (odd amount to add for a remix, I thought, and then, I said, "Wait a minute..."). I didn't want to skip to the end, so I listened to the whole thing - and then, after that "Yeah!". "<pause>...<LAUGH!!!!!>" It was so excellent I nearly creamed my jeans. And it's not on the 7"!!!! (Which ends with the "Yeah!"). Now, they credit the 7" as having the mix that appears on _The Sensual World_, and the 12" as "...original version available on ... _The Sensual World_", so, in some sense, that would seem to indicate that the original intent was that the laugh belongs either A) with "The Fog", or B) just as a bit of banding between songs, but ... You gotta hand it to her for exploiting the collective weenieness extant!!! larry...

See, I am VINDICATED! I just KNEW it, deep down inside. And now you people have NO EXCUSE not to believe me, ever again. Because I was right. All along. Despite silly photos in silly KBC newsletters. Hey guys, it says on an OFFICIAL EMI KATE RELEASE that putting the laugh on the end makes it NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION! Suck on THIS, planet of noise bimbo! >You gotta hand it to her for exploiting the collective weenieness extant!!! Well, she is God, right? (I'm reserving my judgement until I get to hear those extra tracks. I hope the CD single materializes stateside before the end of the week...) +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ----------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | Fear the Government that | | \|on |/rukman | jsd@umass.bitnet | fears your computer. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
