   Sorry, but the Box Set *was* Kate's decision. A box set was proposed
by EMI and well known fans were asked for input. Andy Marvick and others
created a wonderful set of songs for an all inclusive collection,
including a well thought out arrangement. This was sent to EMI and lost.
The box set was apparently put on the back burner for a while, then one
day Kate called the folks from Homeground and asked them to get a list
together for her for the next morning. They were able to get a fairly
good list together on short notice, but missed a few. Kate then looked
the list over and vetoed several of the rarest songs as being too much
trouble to obtain (the studio version of _Another Day_ and the other
PG song, _Davey_, etc.)

   The principle reason for the inclusion of all the albums? Kate wanted
the Box Sets as Christmas prezzys. Really.

   No. There is no chance at all. Kate was interviewed by someone from
Love-Hounds and it did not go well.

   Sorry.
