        Well, I don't know how someone could miss the fact that it was 
supposed to be an article with the answers in it, as I clearly labeled it 
with ANSWERS, but next time, though, I'll put SPOILERS at the top.

        I'm not on drugs, but I did mis-read one of the messages that I 
based the article on (I only have one version of most of the albums) and 
so messed up.  My mistake.

        That's interesting, as I can't see it very well at all on my US 
CD.  I don't know whether or not IED (who wrote The Sensual World entry) 
was talking about the UK or the US CD.

        I've looked back through the messages in Deeper Understanding on 
the boxed set, and some people said that their versions of the boxed set 
included the "Fame" pressings of the disks and that apparently these were 
on cheaper paper.  One person said that the KT symbol on "The Dreaming" 
was _missing_, not _not_visible_, but _missing_.  Perhaps this also 
explains why the symbol was invisible on your import of The Hounds of 
Love (does anyone have a British HOL CD that _has_ the symbol?). 

        Gosh, it's much more confusing then I thought it would be.
