After suffering from gaffa-withdrawal for 3 weeks, I'm finally back from Hong Kong. While there, I was perusing a local Chinese newspaper one day when my eyes were drawn to the words "Kate Bush". The article was about 5 record stores in Hong Kong, one of which specializing in limited editions and box sets. The photo accompanying the article was of 3 TRS shoe boxes - the official heart-shaped one, the shoe-box shaped one with a T shirt and a pin, and the other box-shaped one with a teeny pair of red ballet shoes. So I made a bee-line for the place. The two fake boxes were HK $500 each (approx. US $70) and the official one $800 (US $120). Since I'm not a collector, I passed up the chance to own one, but Les (here in Toronto) is now the proud owner of # 395 of the official box! Both UK and Japanese pressings were available for TRS as well as Tori's new album and singles, the Japanese pressings being about 40% more expensive. I also saw Sarah McLachlan and Loreena McKennit discs. The only thing I saw with Jane Siberry on it was "Summer in the Yukon". Alas, no Happy !-) -- **********"We all breathe the same air" KaTe Bush Tippi Chai, Toronto, Canada <chai@gpu.utcc.utoronto.ca || chai@utorgpu.bitnet> Disclaimer: all opinions, pinions and onions expressed herein are solely mine.
