Hair Of The Hound (June 16, 1986):

This tape is now out of date since all four videos from the Hounds of Love album are also on The Whole Story. You might want to get the LaserDisc, since it's in CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) instead of CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) like The Whole Story, that means you have better freeze frame than with CLV LaserDiscs.

Tracks:

  1. Running Up That Hill
  2. Hounds Of Love
  3. The Big Sky
  4. Cloudbusting

---------------


The Whole Story (1986): The Whole Story cover

Contains most of Kate's videos up to 1986: All songs from the corresponding album plus the video for The Big Sky. The video to Experiment IV is only available here, so TSF + HOTH isn't sufficient. A new PAL LaserDisc now also contains the three videos from The Sensual World. A 2 videoCD (CD-ROMs with MPEG films for computers/ CD-I players) now available contains in addition to the new LaserDisc version also Rubberband Girl and Moments Of Pleasure

Tracks: see albums above.


---------------


The Sensual World (1989): The Sensual World video box

Contains three videos from that album and interview footage with excerpts from a lot of other videos. The American version (video tape as well as LaserDisc) contains much less interview footage than the British version. The British version is the complete 1989 VH-1 special.

Tracks:

  1. Interview
  2. The Sensual World
  3. This Woman's Work
  4. Love And Anger

The Line, The Cross, and The Curve (1994): TLTCTC box

The new film around 6 songs from the album The Red Shoes. TLTC&TC is the first "full length" film Kate directed (even though it is only 43 minutes long, "full length" is used to distinguish it from the music videos Kate directed).

The plot is basically an extended telling of the lyrics of the the title cut to "The Red Shoes". The film stars not only Kate, but Miranda Richardson (from "The Crying Game"), Lindsay Kemp (Kate's mime tutor and mentor), and Lily (of whom the song Lily was written for).

Tracks:

  1. Rubberband Girl
  2. And So is Love
  3. The Red Shoes
  4. Lily
  5. Moments of Pleasure
