kate's LaserDiscs

[Yamamoto Sozo <sozo@isl.mei.co.jp>]

These days I'm getting to be busier and cannot spend enough time to read 
news articles.  But some recent messages about Laser Disk releases 
drove me to do summarization on video releases in Japan.

Here's a list of Kate's videos released in Japan.
The source of the information is a CD-ROM based data retrieval system
available at a local CD shop.
Entries without issue date are from other resources such as `the 
Illustrated Collector's Guide.'

Compared with alec's post, there are slight differences.
One thing I can point out is that `The hair of the Hound' is out of print.

Different releases surely exist.  These are usually to drop prices.
For example, Live at Hammersmith Odeon was first priced 16,000 yen 
and later reissued 4635 yen. 

Also, some other discs with Kate's name are included in this list.
You can see there's Wuthering Heights Rockflix version on LD !
Some disc such as Peter Gabriel's Cv are missing, the searching 
strategy was simply to "Fing all videos with Kate Bush as Artist Name."
