   Michael Graham asks: Is there a color version of the photo(s) for 
_The_Ninth_Wave_? The answer is yes. A small reproduction is included
in the vinyl version of the _TWW_ boxed set, a near-microscopic copy
is in the booklet in the CD edition of the boxed set. 
   But if you are a member of the Kate Bush Club, you will already 
have found a full-page, high-resolution color reproduction of one 
shot from the _Ninth_Wave_ session on the back cover of a recent
_Newsletter_. There was also a very interesting article in an
old issue, written by John Carder Bush, describing the experience
of shooting that photo-session for the album-cover.
   Also asked: What are the photos in Kerry Juby's book, _Kate_Bush:_
_The_Whole_Story_ like? They're all "unofficial" shots, mostly
quick snapshots taken by newspaper photographers of Kate at different
times in her career. Some are in color, all are quite sharply 
reproduced. There are something like twenty, all told, though IED
does not have his copy at hand and cannot be certain. Many of the
photos were not known to IED before he saw them in the Juby book,
so they do constitute a definite virtue, though it's unlikely that
Kate would agree.
