I went to a couple of local record conventions this past month, and
saw lots of Kate stuff.  I personally picked up a cassette of a German
concert, and 2bl album of Kate live in Manchester.  One guy who
someone else described as "the biggest Kate collector in Florida"
had about 20-30 various singles, picture disks, interview stuff, etc --
many of which were quite pricey.

One of the things I saw that I'm upset I didn't pick up was an
album of TKI with an alternate picture of Kate on the cover.  It's
a head to just below the shoulders shot of her with some sort of
"muscle" shirt on.  It was only $5.00, but I had already spent over
$100 the day before...

Regarding where, when, and how: check with your local used record
store.  Check Goldmine magazine, too.  People in Goldmine also
sell Kate stuff through the mail.

On another note:  $75 for a pic disk of Kate?  Ouch!  I think one
could do better than that, but I don't know for sure...
