1) People who cover large posters of Kate with posters of other inferior
"artists".

2) News systems which delay articles so that I do not get to know that
there is a cassette single of The Sensual World untill after I have been
caught by it in the shop.

3) Walkmen which decide to loose the right chanel when I have just
bourght T S W.

3) Cassette singles without the lyrics.

4) Months between the arival of a single and the arival of the album.

Query: is that northumbrian pipes on T S W?

   This is so annoying. The classic example was Everything But The Girl's
   "Idlewild". They put the single "I don't want to talk about it" on the
   cassette, but NOT on the CD, which costs twice as much as the cassette.

I think KaTe be guilty of this crime (or at least her record company)
but I'm not sure, so I won't mention it.

Naa. The _worst_ example is Blacmange, Waves. They put a different, and
much less interesting, version on the tape from that on the LP ( which
was the single ).

No, no, NO, the WORST example is Jethro Tull's Under Wraps which has 4
(count 'em, that's four) songs on the CD that are not on the LP (two
which aren't on the cassette).  Thats over 15 minutes of new music!  That
happens to be a phenominal album from a group which I usually ignore
(there more recent albums do not measure up).  You might wonder why the
extra songs bother me?  because I still only purchase LPs, most of which
(Under Wraps, especially) sound identical to the CD in quality (except
for EMI/CBS, which unfortunately means that my KaTe albums of not of high
enough quality).
