("The Hugh Maher Report") I can't believe it!!!! It's a small world! (At least in Kate Bush fandom.) Another Kate Bush Fanatic on the net! (I've actually met at least 15 Kate Bush fans on the net, and 3 or 4 fanatics, but no one as Fanatic as you or me.) Two Kate Bush fanatics on one net is probably critical mass. We'll probably drive everyone else crazy! (If I haven't done that already...) > Actually, speaking of rumors, I heard from a friend (Joel Watkins of > Pleasanton) that the single was delayed because Kate was dissatisfied > with the artwork!! (Which made me want to write and urge her to > release it in a brown paper bag! ...) The person I got the rumor from is Joel Watkins! (My goodness, it's a small world, but I've already said that.) He lives in Livermore, CA these days, though. A month ago he told me that Kate's new ALBUM was delayed because Kate wanted to remix some parts and because she was dissatisfied with the cover artwork. It appears that EMI is now doing its best to delay it even more (by delaying the single). I don't think that Kate would give in to a title change -- she thinks that titles are very important, but we shall see. [Besides rumors, I've also gotten from Joel 5 hours of Kate Bush video, 7 hours of rare audio, and some Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson video. He has a bunch of stuff on PAL that he can't convert to NTSC. Do you know of a source for NTSC copies of this stuff?] > By the way, anyone out there holding out any hopes for a gatefold > sleeve for K.B.V? "LIONHEART" and "NEVER FOR EVER" both had them > (except the Japanese pressing of LIONHEART which was a single fold > sleeve) It would certainly be very nice! But that's certainly not one of my greatest concerns. > (Oh - and lest we forget EMI-AMERICA's cramming of the N.F.E. > artwork onto a flimsy thin paper BLACK AND F#$%'n WHITE dust sleeve - > Typical) That was incredibly criminal of them, I agree! They just butchered this amazing artwork! But it's nothing compared what they did to "The Kick Inside"! The British cover (The one Kate designed) is a masterpiece! The U.S. cover (blech) is just too cute for words. Why would they want to make Kate Bush look like your down home country girl??? EMI-America bites. > ANYWAY, I seriously doubt it, since the days of opulent > record jackets seem to be over. (except for Joni Mitchell [Kate's > Mother?] who managed to get every single one of her records out on > gatefold sleeves ...) Actually, I'm not too impressed with Joni Mitchel. What I've heard of her sounds pretty uninspired. Competant and well-crafted, but uninspired nonetheless. But that's just one person's opinion. > Let's here more about people's opinions about Kate's Videos, OK? They're all masterpieces! Except for "Them Heavy People" which is just way too corny! Also, the performances she does on shows and stuff are often better than her promotional videos. "There Goes a Tenner" on Top of The Pops was much better than the video. "The Dreaming" video was really neat, but I like the performances of this she does on shows (like the one with the giant iguanas) better because you get to see all of her wonderful dance routine. "Wuthering Heights" was better in the "Die Efteling Special". In fact that whole show was wonderful. "Babooshka" was more interesting and innovative on the Dr. Hook special. "Egypt", "Ran Tan Waltz", and "Another Day" (a duet with Peter Gabriel of a Roy Harper song) from her Xmas special were all amazingly good! I doubt if there is anyone else on the net, other than you and me, who have seen any of these, though.
