Subject: Need info on singles
I guess this is mainly directed to IED since he knows it all, but I thought others might be interested as well... I was in a record store recently, leaving a $10 deposit so they could order me the "Live at Hammersmith Odeon" video tape. I figured I'd look around before I left, even though the store has never had ONE Kate item. Well, to my surprise, they had a Kate section in the albums (not CDs). Hmm, there's _TKI_... WHAT'S THAT BEHIND IT!?! A totally black album cover. "Running Up That Hill" single? For promotional use only? B-Side "Running Up That Hill - other version" (I forget what it said exactly). Another record... "Cloudbusting" with B-Side I can't remember... I think it was that Cabin Boy song people were talking about recently. Again, "For Promotional Use Only". Then, a real album cover. "Experiment IV" single w/ B-Sides of Wuthering Hts, new vocal, and "December Will Be..." So I bought that one. I LOVE THE REMIX OF EXPERIMENT IV! And now I have "December" which I only had Live before. But what are the other promotional ones? And what's the other _RUTH_? I checked the times, and I think it was about 30 seconds longer. They were $3.99 I *think* so it would be a good buy no matter what... Probably when I pick up the video tape, if they're still there I'll spend the $$. The "Exp. IV" single was $7.99 though. I wasn't happy about that. I'm gonna be keeping my eye on that store now. It's the ONLY store I've EVER seen with Non-LP Kate stuff. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Michael D.

The instrumental version is on the 12-inch single, though the single you saw sounds nonstandard. On the B-side of the real 12-inch is one of Kate's most beautiful and haunting songs of all time, "Under The Ivy", a sad and simple piano ballad. -- |>oug ]
