Subject: Special notice for Love-Hounds (second attempt to post)
To: Love-Hounds From: Andrew Marvick (IED) Subject: Special notice for Love-Hounds First of all, Vickie Mapes of Kansas City, Missouri would like to thank everyone who called her KT preview number (816) 561-0846 during the last ten days--she received more than 75 calls from fans all over the world, and she enjoyed the many messages you left on her machine after hearing the pre-recorded message. She gained a deeper understanding of you all from the project (which is still ongoing, if anyone still wants to give the number a ring). Also from Vickie comes news of the availability to Kate Bush fans of a NEW POSTER. This poster is a huge, "subway"-size poster (approximately 40 x 60 inches), made in the UK on nice, heavy paper. The poster is an "official" product from EMI, not a bootleg. It is the same poster that a Scottish Love-Hound described seeing on an Edinburgh hoarding last week: there is no writing of any kind on the poster, only a huge blow-up, in black-and-white, of the photograph by John Carder Bush of Kate featured on the cover of her new UK single _The_Sensual_World_. In the photo Kate is seen in three- quarter perspective with her hands out in front of her, and with sand (or dust) slipping through her fingers. The ink is black, not the sepia-black "duo-tone" color used by John Carder Bush for the single itself, but IED has been assured that the print is first- rate and the darks are very rich in the poster. For a limited time this poster will be available, on a first- come first-serve basis, for $20.00 POST PAID (rolled in a tube the right size for a poster of these dimensions), from: "Dirt Cheap" Recycled Sounds Anne Winter, proprietor 3941 Main Street Kansas City, MO 64111 (816) 531-4890 The payment should be made by cashier's check or money order. The price of $20.00 includes DOMESTIC postage only. Any overseas Love-Hounds should inquire directly of the proprietor for postage costs for their country. Also, there is a limit of 3 copies of the poster per order! Please don't be greedy, let other fans have a chance too. Finally, IED would just like to add that neither Vickie nor any Love-Hound is receiving one cent in commission from this offer! What happened was that Vickie just found two copies of the poster at this store the other day, and when Ms. Winter told her that she might be able to get about forty more, Vickie realized that the best thing for all parties would be to announce the availability of the poster in Love-Hounds--thus bringing the market to the product. If this goes well, Ms. Winter said she would be sure to order any future 40 x 60" KT posters in similar quantities. The rest is up to you, people! One final message: Vickie's radio program, "Suspended in Gaffa" (or is that Gasfa?), is on Kansas City's KKFI (90.1 FM), every Saturday night from 10 p.m. to midnight. She has been previewing the album for the last three weeks. Her show often affords valuable insights into Kate's work through comparisons of her early songs with her more recent ones. And Vickie also plays contemporary recordings by any and all current female artists. It's highly recommended, and if you do tune in and like the show, let Vickie know--she's always trying to organize midwest-based Kate fans and get them together. -- Andrew Marvick
