A lot of KaTe fanatics will probably snarl (I should know, I was one
from the The Kick Inside on), but this is my feeling too.  I *never*
listen to Lionheart any more, and only rarely get Never For Ever out.
Kate was somewhat disparaging of The Kick Inside, too, calling it
"juvenile, moon in june" stuff, but I still love this one, and I love
the later stuff too.  It's just MHO that Lionheart had no redeeming
qualities to it. Even in the depths of KaTe fanaticism, when Lionheart
first came out, I was somewhat disappointed with it, though of course I
repressed those dangerous thoughts. ;-)

ObDangerousThoughts: KaTe and I are the same age.  I used to dream of
going to the UK, introducing myself, and proposing marriage or some such
nonsense.  Lack of funds was probably the only thing that kept me sane.
