Record Collector rarities article

[Scott Telford <s.telford@ed.ac.uk>]

The new (October) RC mag, has a "Kate Bush Top 100 Rarities" article
by a Kamran Raja. There's a postscript about a "Red Shoe Promo
Shoebox" which is said to be a box in the shape of a size 4 1/2
shoebox containing a TRS CD, a video (probably the RbG vid), a biog
printed on parchment paper and a fountain pen. Only 1000 to be
relased. Is this the same as IGG's one?

Interestingly, the semi-mythical Early Years album isn't mentioned at
all in the top 100.

For the record, here's the top 10:

1. Moving/Them Heavy People 
Japanese promo gatefold double-pack with Seiko ad, 25 only, PRP1046/7, L500

2. The Kick Inside

though both versions have the same value."
