Well, there are loads and loads of sampler albums with some Kate on them.
Over a hundred in fact. So I won't put them into the FAQ, but I've prepared
an excerpt of the still-soon-coming discography, see the separate posting
for that one.

Karen, if you noticed some errors in the book, have you taken notes (paper,
electronically or mental) which these were? For in some cases I had to rely
on the book to get the numbers for the discography.

You do know that sometimes there are several different catalog numbers for
the same record? ('same' meaning 'same contents and same country of origin'
here.) Also some records have more than one catalog number printed on them.

Bye,

Uli

P.S.: FAQ is coming soon. As I wrote above, and as you can see by the fact
that the postings I'm answering to are 19 days old, I'm a bit backlogged
with my email, and there are quite a few changes waiting to be incorporated
into the FAQ. Sorry about that.
