Sorry, but I have to agree with KK. I would never want to hurt Kate 
by buying a bootleg of hers. As it happened I was recently bought 
quite a few of them for a birthday present and, although very 
grateful to be able to hear her earlier work, quite depressed to 
think that she is not receiving any money for them. More than that, 
when non-Kate fans hear the unprofessional sounding recordings (like 
on the Home Demos) a lot of them tend to think less of her without 
realising that this is not meant for release because Kate has decided 
that they are not up to scratch. I admit that these people are narrow 
minded to think that but, still, it happens. Besides, I think that 
Kate's fans should respect her intentions. She didn't want to release 
them so I still will never buy one.

PS. I'm not getting at you for buying them, I can't blame you for 
wanting more of Kate.
