Elle est venue comme un chat, par la nuit si noir...

[EDH7PBA%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU]

Just a quick note. IED received the "first" issue (called #1, but
apparently the follow-up to issue #0) of the new French Kate
Bush/Peter Gabriel fanzine, "N'Abandonne pas", today. It's
inexpensively made, entirely from xeroxes of computer printouts, with
a bunch of reproductions of snapshots of Kate from the November 1986
video party and from TV appearances.  There is a very nice account of
Fanch's trip to England for the party, and a re-print (in English) of
an article by every oldtime U.S. KT fan's old friend Gillian Gaar
(erstwhile editor of long-defunct fanzine For the Love of Kate) which
was originally published in Goldmine 11/04/86. There are two other
pieces in English.

Despite its low-budget format, the new French fanzine is very
attractive and well organized and filled with facts and ideas about
Kate (and Peter). There is a strong effort throughout to bridge the
geographical gaps that separate the fans and the fanzines, and the
tone is friendly and light-hearted. At the end, a number of the KT
fanzines are listed with their addresses, including that of the
Japanese KT fan club, whose address IED has wanted for a long time.

If any of the L-Hs can read/write any French at all, this fanzine
is highly recommended. Even if you're not a Francophone, you can still
write to them in English -- they're ready to publish any letter with
pertinent info, whether in French or English. Send 50 FF. and/or an
envelope with an IRC to:
