As I already pointed out in my earlier posting on this subject, KaTe also
sings some quite nice bv's on "No Self Control".

(and yes, I appologize to all those people who have caught (and pointed out!)
my error wrt tracks on PGII.  Not only did I get a title wrong, but the
song I was thinking of isn't even on the album.  Oops.)



>KaTe is only on number Three, I think.  (Brief plug...if you don't already
>know, she's also on backing vox on Big Country's song "The Seer" from the 
>(IMHO excellent) album of the same title.  Not a great vocal part, mostly
>"yeh-yeh-yeah", but there you have it)


It *is* a great vocal part (probably my favorite KaTe-on-another-band's-song-
vocals (of course, not including true duets!)).  Try listening on headphones 
sometime.  On every verse but the first, KaTe is whispering/singing the vocals
 alongside Stuart Adamson; as I recall, she's mostly on one track and he's 
mostly on the other.  Once you realize it's there, it's very easy to hear.

Fortunately, the other 3 albums are still good...;-)
