     IED continues to read Love-Hounds with fascination and gratitude,
even now when he finds himself beset by non-KT obligations and
responsibilities such as he has never experienced before (hence
his sporadic, news-meager postings of late). The excitement of
receiving even a slim booklet from the KBC like the one recently
described by conscientious Love-Hounds is so great that no-one
seemed to notice that the original price bandied about for the
CD box set was some 70 Pounds, whereas it turns out the actual
list price is to be (gulp!) 100 Pounds! (A difference of about
$60.00.) Are these people utterly crazy, or what? Even with
a substantial discount the product will be _far_ too expensive
for widespread sales. You'd think for such a price they could
_at_the_very_least_ have taken the trouble to include all the
official EMI tracks! The report of ICE's interview with some
jerk in charge of the project (is he, in fact? or just--let's
hope--some flunky?) who so cavalierly dismissed the instrumentals
of _RUTH_, _TSW_ and _Dreamtime_, etc., should _surely_ be shot, no?
     In a wild mood, IED signs off for the present.
