   I dug this one out last night. It is Kate's usual players, but it
wasn't the KT Bush band as such.

Countdown                          (HOL New York interview.)


*1   This one isn't in any of the usual collection sources. It's
definitely *not* from the pre-Kick period. And it's definitely not a
"pub" preformance. I'd say it's "Saturday Night At The Mill."

*2 & *3 Excellent quality versions of these exist, but only in B&W, due
to the difficulty in translating SECAM to PAL or NTSC. A good quality
SECAM copy is at the *top* of our want list. This would be a wonderful
addition to the next tape tree.
