I thought somebody might be interested in the following:

I bought the Video and CD double pack of Live At Hammersmith today. I put
the CD in my player, and was surprised to see the total playing time was
75mins, not the 53mins that would match the video. Also, there were 16
tracks instead of 12. I thought that maybe there were extra tracks on the
CD, and they'd just copied the track listing from the video for the CD
sleeve instead.

Confusion was increased when I actually listened to it. At first, I thought
it was a very long introduction to 'Moving', as it starts quietly and builds
up, but after about a minute and a half of this strange sub-Jean-Michel
Jarre stuff, I thought something was definitely up. Flipping through the
rest of the tracks was much the same story, all ambient synthesizer, ethnic
chanting and no Kate. 

So they've put the wrong CD in the pack. The label's right but the disc
isn't. Has anyone else found a problem with this release, or is it just me?
(And if it is just me, I'm open to offers for this unique piece of
Kate-related memorabilia.)
