Really-From: Richard Caley <rjc%aipna.edinburgh.ac.uk@NSFNET-RELAY.AC.UK> 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? -- rjc@uk.ac.ed.aipna Towels can be harmfull, if swallowed in large quantities. - D. Adams

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 ). -- rjc@uk.ac.ed.aipna Give me a beer and money sandwich, Hold the bread. - Waldo `DR' Dobbs

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).
