I think this inscription adds weight to the Emily Bronte theory.

I am 99% certain this refers to the Townhouse Studio in England where Kate's
records were mastered.

A bit strange to see a direct metal master designation for a 7" single, don't
you think?

That's interesting--either "Fullhouse" was written before TKI was mastered or
Kate was mindful of the phrase (and perhaps both, but almost certainly the
latter.)  Mike Weaver's brilliant "Undercurrents" essay in Break-Through #11
is the most authoritative writing I've read on Gurdjieffian influence in
Kate's early lyrics.

For Hannah, maybe?

As good a guess as I can muster.

Count me in on this request--the more raw info we can compile, the better, at
the risk of making the FAQ unmanageable in size.

Take care,
