Subject: KT videos
Infinite thanks to exemplary, admirable, incomparable Love-Hound
Arthur Mifflin for his timely report on a _NEW_KATE_BUSH_VIDEO_RELEASE_!!
In America, no less!
However, IED must warn everyone not to get their hopes up too
high that all three of the new videos will be included. It's very
possible, of course, but you never know with these things. IED would
really doubt that the other three (of the six Arthur mentions) will
be new videos for _TSW_. More likely they are previously released
videos, or perhaps three of the five videos that were left off
_TWS_ and thus have never been released in the U.S. in any form.
About the laser-disk, Arthur: IED, too, will get the VHS tape
and then pray to the Columbia Godhead for a subsequent domestic laser-
disk release. But rest assured, if this tape really comes out, the
Japanese will almost _certainly_ put out a laser-disk version of it,
even if the Americans don't. It'll cost a lot more, of course, but
it'll be worth it!

I doubt very much if any of the videos from _The Whole Story_ will be on this new video cassette, because Columbia doesn't have the rights to them, as far as I know. Capitol/EMI has the rights, and they'd be foolish to sell them now -- they benefit from whatever publicity Columbia creates, and they don't have to pay for it! I guess it's possible that some of the five videos that were left off _TWS_ might be on this, since they were never released here, so it's unclear who has the American rights to them. Wait -- I just thought of a way that some videos from _TWS_ might be on the new video cassette. _The Whole Story_ was released in America under the Sony label. (I'm not sure how this came about.) Sony now owns Columbia. So if Sony actually had the rights to the videos on _TWS_, and didn't license the rights from Capitol/EMI specifically for that video cassette, then it's possible. Or perhaps Sony could license them again from Capitol/EMI. I just don't know. Frankly, I doubt it. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
