Just a note. The U.S. "Eat the Music" single has finally shown up in
stores on cassette.  It's selling for $5.44 at Tower,
not $2.99 (the price of most cassette-singles).  Since there are
plenty of $2.99 cassingles that contain as much material as the
cassette-EPs that sell for nearly twice as much, the whole enterprise
smells pretty fishy.  However, it's a good product, in a hard plastic
cassette case, with a four-color cover (the same as the CD), and it
contains both versions of the title track plus BSL and CitW. 
It still hadn't appeared on the Billboard charts as of the week ending
Sept. 25; perhaps it'll show up in the next one -- especially if the
way the CD-single was sailing out the doors of the Greenwich Village
Tower is any indication.  (Btw, IED glimpsed Riuichi Sakamoto there 
yesterday.  Yes, IED actually can recognize and identify musicians who
have no connection with Kate Bush. However, because of his irrelevance
to Kate's work, IED saw no point in engaging him in conversation.) 

Also by the way, there are several gross errors of track
identification on the new limited-edition import CD, "This Woman's
Live Work". For one thing, the first track on the CD is not from
Saturday Night Live -- Kate didn't perform "Wuthering Heights" on that
show. On the other hand, IED doesn't recognize this live version of
the song from any of the video performances which he has seen -- could
this be an audio recording of the long-lost first-ever Kate Bush
Top-of-the-Pops appearance? The penultimate track on the CD, Kate's
live performance, with Peter Gabriel, of "Don't Give Up", at Earl's
Court, excuses the (high) price of the produKT.
