Yes, I'd been wondering about this...

AAAAAAAAAAAH!  NO NO NO NO NO!  I could actually have HAD those songs
on CD, and now they won't release to spare someone's feelings?!?

Seriously?  I spend about $10 on CDs every other month.  At that rate,
it'd take, let's see, two and a half years of not buying any other CDs.
Only a year and a half if I sold my other KaTe CDs.  Great.

Is there someone I can write to about getting "Odds and Sods" released
anyway?  EMI-UK, Columbia, somebody?  Anybody?
