It's a great marketing strategy from their point of view.  Only the
Kate Bush fanatics like us will be really interested in the b-sides
and rarities, and they know we will pay most anything to get them,
even if we have to buy another copy of all Kate's albums to do so.
The elasticity of demand (if I may borrow an economic term) is so high
that they'll still sell well, even with the added burden of the other
albums.  And those other albums make money for the record company.

My question is whether or not the CD Box Set will be released by CBS
here in the United States, or if we're going to have to pay even
*MORE* to get the import version.
