the unedited interview: a dub (of very poor picture
quality) of the original unedited working-master from the studio taping of
Kate's interview for Night Flight. (Thirty-eight minutes long.) November
1985.
So far as I am aware this is the only unedited
(not-for-broadcast) {no longer true - CDW} video-taped interview in
circulation. It is also the most excruciating of all Kate Bush video. For
more than half an hour Kate sits absolutely still before an unblinking
stationary camera, answering with remarkable patience and professionalism an
interminable series of asinine and shockingly ill-informed questions
from an unseen American bimbo. Several times Kate is asked to repeat long
answers she has just given, simply because the sound technicians had
mis-adjusted the microphones. Finally, after the hopelessly inept
interviewer finally subsides, Kate is further exploited by the boorish
American studio crew, who pressure her into delivering a series of
advertising "spots" for a number of television programmes. As usual,
Kate suffers through all of these indignities with perfect grace.
