Re: Typos on Kate worK

[iedsri@aol.com (IEDSRI)]

The Cloudbusting single's typo was particularly 
frustrating because the album had already been out
for a bit -- complete with the intriguing (but alas,
unintentional) typo "Organon" (which should properly
be spelled "Orgonon") -- when the typo was repeated
on the twelve-inch release (the "Organon Mix").

In a 1985 interview with Kate Bush the interviewer
described witnessing Kate's agitation when, during the
interview, she received a phone call from EMI informing
her that the quotation of Tennyson's poetry on the back
cover of the early pressings of the Hounds of Love album
had been identified as part of the wrong poem (though from
the same larger work, the Idylls of the King).  To her
credit in that case, Kate saw to it that the error was changed
in all subsequent UK editions of the album; and there is 
additional evidence that these things used to matter to her.
The typo for the This Woman's Work track (as "This Women's Work")
is almost certainly completely inadvertant, and it is sad to 
see such sloppiness, no matter who was responsible for the error.
