In article <22683.9311010439@daiches.cogsci.ed.ac.uk> you write:

	There's also The Whole Story which has clips for all the songs
on the album of the same name, plus The Big Sky, so it has all the vids
from Hounds of Love.  All four HoL vids are also on another video
collection called "Hair of the Hound".  Those two are the only "official
ones" missing from your list.  I guess therefore I would recommend
getting The Whole Story, but I think it may be out of print, I dunno.
One thing that makes The Single(s) File better is it has more early
stuff, which may be bad or good depending on how you look at it.  Even
die hard Kate fans cringe when watching "Them Heavy People", though I
must say I thoroughly enjoy it while I cringe. :-)  "There Goes A
Tenner" is probably her best pre-HoL video, and it's on TSF but not TWS,
so that's a better example.

	No, I can't really blame you for buying Home of the Brave.  I
saw it once and it totally blew my mind!  You are forgiven.  BTW, I
think there *is* a Laurie Anderson video called "United States", or are
you talking about something else and I'm totally confused?
