Does anyone know whether there's a video in the making for this track, or indeed whether there are any plans to release it as a single? Speaking of singles, when the single for _TSW_ was released domestically (here in Canada, that is) as a 7" and cassette, I rushed out and bought the 7", since the album hadn't been released yet and I was dying to hear *anything* from it! Besides, I'd never seen a Kate Bush single of any kind before, ever! Today I was downtown and found (to my amazement) a surfeit of imported singles from _TSW_: the CD and 12" singles of _The_Sensual_World_ and _This_Woman's_Work_; the latter was also available on 12" as a "special edition" w/poster sleeve. And they even had the "Babooshka" tour poster on display! Now I have to revise my Xmas wish-list! :-) Meanwhile, _TSW_ is getting some airplay on commercial FM, MuchMusic is playing both the _TSW_ and _L&A_ vidoes, and the album is #3 at A&A. The album seems to be getting a fair amount of promotion from Capitol. There are big posters up in both A&A Records and A&B Sound, and that YTV Rocks contest sounds like a promotion to me. Didn't someone say that the album is getting very little promotion in the States? -- Mark
