Hello there fellow Love-Hounds-- Just wanted to let you all know that I attended a local record convention the other week and was lucky enough to find a virtual treasure trove of KT stuff. The first thing I snagged was _Aspects of the Sensual World_ CD for $7 (reasonable, I thought). So far, I like "I'm Still Waiting" the best. The next item I found was a Love and Anger CD which has the songs "The Confrontation" and "One Last Look Around the House Before We Leave" (or something to that effect), for $7, and the 7" vinyl version of _Love and Anger_ which has the nice gatefold with the stills from the video. This was ALSO $7. The final KT item which I found was a new VIDEO (yes, you heard me right) called _Kate Bush: The Collection_. The cover is black and has a head-and- shoulders shot of Kate in her Wuthering Heights white gown. What this tape consists of is any and possibly every TV show clip that Kate ever appeared on, including the old SNL with Eric Idle introducing her. A lot of the items are things I've never even heard of, such as something called the Old Grey Whistle Test (?), Razzmatazz, etc. There is even one clip taken from a COOKING show, where Kate introduces the hostess to the joys of vegetarian fare as the two of them chat in Kate's garden. Unfortunately, there are some bits which have less-than-terrific quality, but being PAL converted, what do you expect? The content of the video, to me at least, more than makes up for the lacking quality. There is one bit where Kate is sitting with the show's hostess in front of a lot of school-age children, where she discusses the video for _Sat In Your Lap_, and she proceeds to pull out a series of props from the video and put them on the kids' heads: the jester's cap, the dunce cap, and the bull horns. She even pulls her ballerina tutu out of her bag of tricks. It's quite cute to watch her interacting with the kids. The tape was $25. It may sound like a lot, but to someone like me, who lives far enough out in the sticks so as not to enjoy the comforts of MTV and VH-1, etc., this was well owrth the investment to see Kate in other visual settings other than in her videos (wonderful as those are!) If you can find this tape, I strongly recommend it! That's all for now. Big woofs.... All the best, Deb Wentorf
