Subject: MisK., and an updated KaTalogue
First of all, Love-Hounds, remember: There's still time to get your signature stickers in to the central Katemas-card compiler/mailer: Send a sticker of your own manufacture to: Andrew Marvick, 10499 Wilkins Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024. Come on, now, people, make a little effort to show Kate you care about her. Think of all she's done for us. >Instead, "Tokyo Joe" is a very polished bit of --- JAPANESE >DISCO. Recorded in 1985, it features a lot of vocal work from >Sakamoto's wife, Akiro somebody-or-other, and as IED has mentioned in Could have told you not to buy that one, Rob. Sorry. _Tokyo Joe_, _Favourite Visions_, his first electronic LP, _The 1000 Knives_ (although that has some very good stuff on it), as well as the early Hosono LPs/CDs like _Happy House_, all of Takahashi's early records with the Sadistic Mika Band, even his own first solo LP, _Saravah!_ -- they're all very, VERY dated sounding, ultra-seventies, heavy with Little Feat L.A.-rock-fusion influence (Bill Payne even plays on some of the stuff) and that stupid syndrum sound. By the way, you didn't have to go to Hong Kong for the Dalis Car and _Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters_ CDs. They've both been in stock here in L.A. for a long time now. Next time, just ask. (Oh! He didn't go to Hong Kong just to get the CDs? Oops.) Never mind. To Shelli Meyers: You're not a hosehead, Shelli. The holy day is July 30. In the first years of Kate's fame a big deal was made of the fact that Kate's birthday was the same as Emily Bronte's. Heavy. Thanks again to Peter E. Lee for his amazing organizational efforts. There will be a Katemas party in L.A., too -- in a pig's eye! IED's had enough of that crap! Mike M., IED herewith complies with one of your requests by posting the KT discography below. As for the lyrics to her songs, since you're going to buy CDs of all her albums (aren't you?), you don't need a transcription here. Besides, Henry Chai, MarK T. Ganzer and IED are too busy transcribing KT interviews for you guys. --->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--- Catalogue of Kate Bush's Music (last updated 6/30/87) For those who have requested a re-posting of the "discography", here is an updated edition. Note that this is not, nor was it ever, a complete discography, but simply a list of every snippet of KT music known (by IED) to exist. Recordings are listed in ROUGH chronological order. A quick, from-memory (ie. fallible) discography of Kate's official releases precedes the non-LP list. A complete discography, including all foreign pressings with their catalogue numbers, is impracticable. EMI has many, many divisions throughout the world. Who knows whether EMI-India hasn't pressed some KT records, for example? If there's one thing IED has learned in his nine years and three months of Kate Bush fanaticism, it is that even the richest and most monomaniacal fan could never really amass a "complete" collection. I. Basic official discography (for notes on the b-sides, see the non-LP-track discography after this section): A. Albums: 1. _The Kick Inside_: Moving, The Saxaphone Song, Strange Phenomena, Kite, The Man With the Child in His Eyes, Wuthering Heights, James and the Cold Gun, Feel It, Oh To Be in Love, L'Amour Looks Something Like You, Them Heavy People, Room for the Life, The Kick Inside. 2. _Lionheart_: Symphony in Blue, In Search of Peter Pan, Wow, Don't Put Your Foot on the Heart Brake, Oh England My Lionheart, Fullhouse, In the Warm Room, Kashka From Baghdad, Coffee Homeground, Hammer Horror. 3. _Never For Ever_: Babooshka, Delius, Blow Away, All We Ever Look For, Egypt, The Wedding List, Violin, The Infant Kiss, Night Scented Stock, Army Dreamers, Breathing. 4._The Dreaming_: Sat In Your Lap, There Goes a Tenner, Pull Out the Pin, Suspended in Gaffa, Leave it Open, The Dreaming, Night of the Swallow, All the Love, Houdini, Get Out of My House. 5. _Hounds of Love_: Running Up That Hill, Hounds of Love, The Big Sky, Mother Stands for Comfort, Cloudbusting; _The Ninth Wave_: And Dream of Sheep, Under Ice, Waking the Witch, Watching You Without Me, Jig of Life, Hello Earth, The Morning Fog. 6. _The Whole Story_: Wuthering Heights (New Vocal), Cloudbusting, The Man With the Child in His Eyes, Wow, Running Up That Hill, Hounds of Love, Breathing, Army Dreamers, Sat In Your Lap, Experiment IV, The Dreaming, Babooshka.

Experiment IV (Extended remix)/Wuthering Heights (New Vocal)/The Man With the Child in His Eyes (?). II. Non-LP Kate Bush music: 1. "Maybe": one of Kate's earliest recordings with the KT Bush Band, made (as far as is known) in the summer of 1973, when Kate had just turned fifteen; she played about two verses and one chorus of the tape once during a British radio interview. 2. "Passing Through Air": One of the b-sides to the "Army Dreamers" single, it was recorded in 1973, at "Dave (Gilmour)'s house". 3. "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" (with spoken introduction): the only distinction of this original UK single mix is a strange spoken introduction in which Kate repeats the words "He's here!" 4."On Stage": a four-track EP of live performances from the Tour of Life, featuring "Them Heavy People", "Don't Put Your Foot on the Heartbrake","L'Amour Looks Something Like You", and a long version of "James and the Cold Gun". 5. Live at the Hammersmith Odeon": the official video release, including performances of twelve songs from the Tour of Life. There are a few interesting musical changes from the LP versions, notably the long instrumental introduction to "Kite" and the early version of "Violin" (with non-LP lyrics). "Kate Bush -- On Tour": a German/Dutch TV documentary featuring footage of performances from the Tour of Life that were never officially released. 6. "Wow!": one of the bootleg albums (this one a 2-LP set) put out by an American outfit; it includes a transfer onto vinyl of the "Hammersmith" video's audio track, and another vinyl transfer of the audio portion of Kate's 1979 UK Christmas television special (both of which were re-released as part of the recent "Kate Bush Live in Europe '79-'80" bootleg 3-LP set.) (Also, nine tracks from "Hammersmith" turned up as a third bootleg LP called "A Bird in the Hand"). 7. "Live in Paris '79": yet another bootleg by the same New Yorkers, this record features part of a live performance apparently done in Paris, and includes interesting versions of a few LP tracks. This record was also included as the third LP in the recent "Live in Europe '79-'80" bootleg set mentioned above. It is falsely identified as being a production of the non-existent "Fan Club of Taiwan". 8. "Kate Bush": the only title of a UK bootleg audio-cassette which includes virtually the entire two hours of performance from a 1979 concert in Bristol, England. This tape features chants, readings by John Carder Bush, and incidental music, all of which was heard in between Kate's songs during the concert. There are two strange ethnic chants; two synthesizer introductions to songs; two readings by John -- one known as "Two in One Coffin" (preceding "The Kick Inside"), the other a passage of unidentified prose (probably by John) about children, which precedes "In Search of Peter Pan"; and a long jam session by the KT Bush Band. Also included is the alternate (live) version of "Egypt", which sounds very different from the LP version. 9. "Kate": This was a forty-eight minute television special which aired in England at about the time of the Tour of Life. In addition to a couple of lip-synchs of LP tracks and one or two new vocal performances of old songs, several new and unique bits of music appeared on this show. They include a brief introduction, a performance of part of Satie's 1st "Gymnopedie" (as an introduction to "Symphony in Blue"), an early version of "December Will Be Magic Again", a choral introduction for Peter Gabriel (Kate's guest on the show), a brief bit of blues piano, and a duet with Peter of Roy Harper's song, "Another Day". 10. "Let It Be": a live performance of the Beatles song, sung by Steve Harley, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush during a one-off London benefit concert. This appeared in a very limited edition red plastic flexi-disc, made officially by the Kate Bush Club for the Japanese branch of the Club; in addition to the song, it includes a brief spoken message from John Carder Bush and Kate. 11. "Kashka From Baghdad": a live solo performance done on a British television show called "Ask Aspel" in early 1979. 12. "The Wedding List": a live performance done during the Prince's Trust Concert a few years ago; Kate is backed by Phil Collins on drums, Pete Townsend and Midge Ure on guitars and BVs, and Mick Karn on bass. 13. "The Empty Bullring": the b-side to the "Breathing" single. 14. "Ran Tan Waltz": the b-side to the "Babooshka" single. 15."Army Dreamers" (single mix): does not fade out, as it does on the LP. 16. "December Will Be Magic Again": the 1981 Christmas single; this song was written much earlier, and was performed on European television ca. 1979/80 in an arrangement featuring bongos. 17. "Warm and Soothing": the b-side of the "December Will Be Magic Again" single. 18. "Sing, Children, Sing": a benefit single by Leslie Duncan, with Kate (virtually indistinguishable) singing in the all-star back-up chorus. 19. "You (The Game, Part II)": a duet with Roy Harper of his song, on his album The Unknown Soldier. 20. "Flowers": a duet with Zaine Griff of his song, on his 1982 LP Figures. This song was a tribute to the dancer/mime/choreographer Lindsay Kemp, with whom Kate and Zaine had studied together for a time, ca. 1975/77. 21. "No Self-Control" and "Games Without Frontiers": two tracks from Peter Gabriel's third solo album, on which Kate sings backing vocals. 22. "The Magician (theme from "The Magician of Lublin"): a song from The film "The Magician of Lublin" starring Alan Arkin, it featured the music of Maurice Jarre (lyricist unidentified). No soundtrack was ever commercially released; consequently, the song is only known from the nearly unlistenable film print itself (dialogue blots out most of Kate's vocal). 23. "Sat In Your Lap" (rhythm track only): this track, isolated from the complete mix, was heard briefly on a British television documentary "Looking Good, Feeling Fit". 24. "Sat In Your Lap" (single mix): different in sound (especially the rhythm and relative prominence of lead vocal track) from LP version. 25."Lord of the Reedy River": the b-side of the "Sat In Your Lap" single; original song by Donovan, who sings (unidentifiably) BVs. 26. "Dreamtime": the b-side of "The Dreaming" single; an instrumental version of "The Dreaming", very similar to the LP track only without the lead vocals and with a longer, different ending. 27. "Ne T'Enfuis Pas": originally the b-side of the "There Goes a Tenner" single, it was later remixed (the rhythm sound brightened and the lead vocal moved further up in the mix) for French and Canadian release as an a-side. 28. "Un Baiser d'Enfant": the b-side of the remixed "Ne T'Enfuis Pas", this is a French-language version of the Never For Ever track "The Infant Kiss". 29. "Running Up That Hill" (instrumental): identical to the LP version, except for the missing lead vocal track; featured on the twelve-inch single. 30. "Running Up That Hill" (re-mix): an extended re-mix of the original recording, featured on the twelve-inch single. 31. "Cloudbusting (The Organon Mix)": an extended re-mix of the original recording, featured on the twelve-inch single. 32. "Cloudbusting" (the film soundtrack): an extended version of the original recording, with an insert of new music. 33. "Hounds of Love (Alternative Hounds)": an extended re-mix of the original recording, with completely different vocals. 34. "The Big Sky (Special Single Mix)": a seven-inch version of the original recording, with a slight remix and a different opening. 35. "The Big Sky (The Meteorological Mix)": an extended re-mix of the original recording, featured on the twelve-inch single. 36."Under the Ivy": the b-side of the "Running Up That Hill" single. 37. "Burning Bridge": the first b-side of the "Cloudbusting" single. 38. "My Lagan Love": the second b-side of the "Cloudbusting" single; an a capella recording of the traditional Irish folk-song. 39. "The Handsome Cabin Boy": the b-side of the "Hounds of Love" single; another traditional Irish folk-song. 40. "Not This Time": the b-side of the "The Big Sky" single. 41."Experiment IV" (extended re-mix): featured on the twelve-inch single. 42. "Experiment IV" (film soundtrack): includes a remixed insert. 43. "Brazil": a cover of the old popular song, not included in the Terry Gilliam film, but promised for inclusion in the soundtrack LP, which will probably never be released. 44. "Be Kind to My Mistakes": Theme song for the Ken Russell film "Castaway". Film released in U.S. Aug. 29. 45. "Make It Go Away": Theme song for the John Hughes film "She's Having a Baby", scheduled for release in early 1988. 46. "Don't Give Up": a duet with Peter Gabriel of a song from his album So. 47. "The Seer": a track from Big Country's 1986 album of the same name; Kate sings backing vocals. 48."The King is Dead": a track from Go West's album Dancing on the Couch; Kate sings backing vocals. 49. "Let It Be": 7" and 12" single by Ferry Aid, including vocal by Kate. 50."Running Up That Hill" and "Let It Be" (live), probably to be included on the soundtrack LP for Amnesty International's "The Secret Policeman's Third Ball", scheduled for release in the fall of 1987. 51. Note also a "New Vocal" version of "Wuthering Heights", actually an LP track, since it is featured on Kate's greatest hits LP, The Whole Story. --->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--- -- Andrew
