Unfortunately it's not Kate.  It's a Japanese group called Sandii and the
Sunsetz (my spelling might be off) and while I've heard Sandii compared
to Kate in the past, this is the first time I'm aware that someone (the
dealer...not Wieland) has tried to foist a song off *as* Kate.  

Sorry folks.  I can't give details at the moment as to which Sandii song
it is and what album it's on.  The tape with "Turkish Delight" is in
Kansas City with Chris and our turntable is out of commission at the
moment (we have 2 Sandii albums...vinyl LPs) but we can provide that
info within a couple of weeks when Chris gets back.

We were as excited as everyone else at the prospect of a new/old Kate
song because we know that there are still a bunch of unheard Cathy
Demos and other things out there, but I swear...it's Sandii and not
Kate.

Vickie (waiting for the day when someone comes up with one of Happy's
        early songs saying it's a "new"/old Kate.  I'm suprised it
        hasn't happened yet.)


ps...sorry Yves (but thanks!)
