Re: Should I start with _The Whole Story_

     I have to agree.  _The Whole Story_ is a good representation of her
music, but the thing is her albums are really striking in their entirety.  In
other words her hits don't say as much without their neighbors on their res-
pective albums.  _The Hounds of Love_ is contiguous and is excellent.  It'll
get you ready for _The Dreaming_ and her other albums.
     I'd take _TWS_ second.  You'll probably end up buying it regardless of
how many of her albums you buy (_TWS_ was my 7th album!)  _The Kick Inside_
is also a good choice, and from what I've seen of the local stores, it's
available.  All IMHO, of course!
