this is actually yet another hammersmith odeon audio transfer. it is one of
the better ones though (_burning senstations_ is awful, for instance). the
best remains _KaTe bush live_ on neutral zone records out of korea which in-
cludes a few additional tracks: "this woman's work" (which at that time was
only available on the soundtrack to "she's having a baby"), "running up that
hill" (with david gilmour from the secret policeman's third ball) and a 
wonderful, solo piano rendering of "breathing".

huh. i picked this up today and thought that the sound quality was fairly good
as bootlegs go. it's more listenable than _butterfly kisses_ anyways. plus,
it has the live "don't give up" and a few other harder to find tracks which
have not surfaced until now on cd.
