The reason for the earlier videos can be summed up in one word: Keef.  He als
Heights" and the other videos through, I believe, "Army Dreamers" (correct me
on this one, someone who knows for sure!).

I agree that the earlier videos can get annoying, but I don't think they're
necessarily embarrassing. Just accept the fact that at the beginning of her
career Kate was a casualty of the Seventies, and you'll have a much easier time
with them!  :)

I think TD isn't bad, actually, it's quite funny.  The pigeon-necked dance
moves that pop up kill me. (Of course, I'm the person whose first exposure to
Kate was the SIYL video at the age of twelve, which gave me nightmares for a
week...)
