Ooh!  Ooh!  That photo was printed as a poster?  It's my absolute favorite
KaTe photograph (with the possible exception of the TNW cover).  Anybody
know if that might still be available somewhere?

>wonder what song that idea came from :-)

You might think, but you'd be wrong, believe it or not!  The photo of KaTe
with the ivy is on the cover of Fred Vermorel's _The Secret History of Kate
Bush (and the strange art of pop)_, which came out in '83.  "Under the Ivy"
was an HoL-era B-side (I have it on the RUTH 12", along with the extended
mix of RUTH which appears on TWW and the instrumental of RUTH which I
absolutely adore).  I don't have the vinyl handy, but I imagine it came out
in '85.  

Of course, that doesn't mean KaTe hadn't already written the song...

Credit for the photo is given to Clive Arrowsmith.
