actually, those are not k.t. bush band outtakes - they are demos
for the first album. they were recorded in 1977 in preparation for
_the kick inside_.

as far as sound quality goes, that is about the best that you can 
expect. the original cathy demos eps are probably the best sound 
quality of any of the bootlegged demos. the cds were all pressed
using the two cathy albums as their masters and thus come complete
with the pops and crackles associated with the lps. and the _fiddle_
cassette isn't too wonderful either as it was made from the original
eps of the demos.

then again, what do you expect from recordings that were originally 
made with a tape recorder stuck in front of a piano?
