Thanks to IED and Vickie for the super news.

A Katemas present to us all and hopefully a Christmas one too!

Will Love-Hounds have input into the CD Box set?

Sentiments have already been given that a separate release of the new-to-CD 
material would be most welcome.  Of course if the Box is more than the 
regularly available CDs (i.e. with special booklets, etched jewel boxes a la 
David Sylvian's Weatherbox or anything new) plus the new-to-CD material then 
they will of course be a worthwhile item.  To slap the regular CDs (7 of them) 
together with two or three new discs without anything else being new would be 
mighty frustrating as one might feel that EMI are gouging us for our KTfandom.

This especially is so for those of us who have bought the European CDs once 
already at $20 each (whether you are in N. America or Europe).  Thus I feel 
the Box should be something very special (like Weatherbox) and/or there should 
be a separate release of the new material for those of us who already have 
everything she's done on CD. 

Hence my question about Love-Hound input. Vickie?  IED?  Anyone?

How will it be handled in the US with her work now split between EMI America 
and CBS?  My bet is it will be a UK/Europe EMI release only and we in N. 
America will have to import it at something probably in excess of $150. Sigh.

It's certainly another thing we can discuss at the weekend bashes.

Same goes for the KB conference.

Merry Katemas everyone!  I'll see the "South-west" contingent at IED's 
tomorrow.

Derek
