Hi all,

Last Sunday I found another Hammersmith bootleg CD (there are now five):

    'Kate Bush - Wow'
    GDR CD 9213 (Great Dane Records, Italy, 9/92)

The contents is the usual Hammersmith video soundtrack, medium to good 
quality. It has not gone through a dynamic expander like 'Feel It Live'.
The booklet shows a white-on-violet 'Kate Bush' in the top inch, the
rest is a picture of Kate in her green costume, dancing in the red-cushioned
'wheel', there's a blue 'Wow' in the lower right corner. The back of the
CD and the booklet shows a picture of the 'Hammer Horror' performance, 
the inner side of the booklet shows two more pictures, page '2' shows
Kate, sitting on a chair with the back of the chair in front, the background
shows red (or white illuminated with red light) spots on a darker background.
Then there's a four side list of other live boots, then another picture of
Kate, flying in the arms of Gary Hurst and Stewart Avon Arnold, performing
'Kite'. All four pictures are not the best quality, quite dark and reddish-
violettish...

The track list is a little bit irritating, track four is just 'Strange',
track eleven is 'On England My Linearity'. Furthermore, they say that
it is recorded 'live in Amsterdam, Holland, Avril 29, 1979'. This is not
right, it is the well-known Hammersmith soundtrack. At least Kate was in
Amsterdam on April 29, 1979... The durations of the tracks is not listed
correctly too, so it is propably best to ignore any text that is written
on the CD or in the booklet.

If we have to be flooded with Kate bootleg CDs, can't someone come up with 
another live recording? Even if it sounds bad, it would be something
new (on CD).
