Dave Gilmour had nothing to do with the production of "Wuthering
Heights" that I am aware of.  He did provide money and clout, both of
which greatly helped Kate get her record contract.  He personally
worked with Kate on demo recordings before she got her record contract
and was executive producer of the final three song demo tape that was
used to get Kate her contract.  Two of these three songs appear on
Kate's first album taken right from the demo tape without rerecording.
They are "Saxophone Song" and "The Man With the Child in his Eyes".
