Subject: Bruce and Rush.
Well, what happens when Kate does a duo with Bruce and plays
synthesizer with Rush? Will they be cool people to discuss
on this newsgroup, then? I mean, last year, you would have
said the same thing about Beeg Cuntry.

Hey, FST do hereby thank IED for his extensive reply on Nosferatu.
btw, did IED ever set those "Woh-dudes" straight? How can they go
through the rest of their respective lives without knowing the Truth? :-)
bbtw, where can I get a KB T-shirt? (I'd love to have one with "The
Dreaming" style pictures on it, if available at all).
For that matter, is there ever a poster with the cover of "The
Dreaming"? Or the cover of the 12in RuTH? Love those pictures.
(These pair of eyes have yet had the pleasure of seeing the now
legendary (?) Japanese cover of TKI).

Reply-To: "ROSSI J.A." <ro...@nusc.ARPA>
I understand that the Hair of the Hound compilation will be soon
available on import videodisk (LV, of course) as a followup to the
relative successes of The Singles File and Live at the Hammersmith.
As far as I can tell, these videos are the only means of getting good
video quality video coupled with high quality stereo sound. I
understand that Hair of the Hound will have a digitally encoded
soundtrack which should make it the b all around Kate expose available
(that's if you buy into the digital is best CD type mentality, which,
by the way, I'm even being convinced about. Just call 1-800-VHS-DISK
and ask about future release info for more details). I'm going to try
to direct order Hair of the Hound in NTSC from a west coast
distribuitor I used to deal with. I'll pass on any info I get. If it
becomes available soon, I'll be glad to make a VHS HIFI copy for
anybody who furnishes me proof that they purchased the disk (should be
$29.95 retail) and doesn't have a laserdisk player on which to play
it.

You can find them every now and then in some record stores that carry
lots of obscure T-shirts. There are some mail order places that carry
them too. They are all bootleg type things of only okay quality. The
Kate Bush Club was selling some *really* nice black sweatshirts with
collars and white writing in the HoL script. The front says "Hounds
of Love" and the back says "It's in the trees... it's coming!" On the
sleeves are the KT logo. I don't know if they have any more left,
however.

I've never seen one. But if you *really* wanted, you could get some
printed up yourself. Getting the silkscreen made, however, would
probably have about a $50 overhead.
> For that matter, is there ever a poster with the cover of "The Dreaming"?
Yes, there are both bootleg and official posters of this. But they
are difficult to find. I know of a mail order place in England that
sells bootlegs for two Pounds. I think the minimum order is 3 posters
and then there'd be some more money for postage.

It's actually the British promo poster that the Japanese cover is
taken from that is legendary. The Japanese cover is cropped a bit,
making it a bit less, uh, legendary...

Subject: Info on Kate Bush's SNL Appearance
A few years back (between 1977-1979), Kate Bush appeared on
Saturday Night Live and performed two songs. Can anyone tell
the names of those songs and what album they are on? It was so
long ago that I remember almost nothing about the songs except that I
enjoyed them. Listening to Kate Bush's current album reminded me of
the SNL appearance.
Thanks.

Kate was on SNL near the end of '78. She performed "The Man With
the Child in his Eyes" on top of a piano played by Paul Schaeffer
and "Them Heavy People", both from her first album, *The Kick Inside*.

Subject: Is IEDreaming or what?
Wow! That's what IED calls Love-Hounds: 100% KT.
Well, let's see:

IED agrees that there is no intrinsic merit in BG, only ancillary
interest stemming entirely from their association with KT. Whether
their music is good or not is immaterial. It is enough that they have
worked with the greatest living human being.
>Hey, FST do hereby thank IED for his extensive reply on Nosferatu.
Very welcome.
>btw, did IED ever set those "Woh-dudes" straight? How can they go
>through the rest of their respective lives without knowing the Truth?
No, he didn't. In personal confrontational situations IED is much less
obnoxious than in phosphur. His Wisconsin acquaintances continue to
drift down the river Styx of life blissfully claiming as their own and
disseminating still further the flotsam and jetsam of KT
disinformation up against which they bump.
>I understand that Hair of the Hound will soon be available.
This is great news. Does this mean that the rumor of a U.S. version of
The Single File video compilation, which would replace some of the old
videos therein with the Hair of the Hound films, is without
foundation?
>...Coupled with high quality stereo sound. Hair of the Hound will have

>around Kate expose available...
This also means a high quality sound copy of the film-only remix
section of "Cloudbusting". Amazing.

Thanks very much, John. Please do announce any new info on this release
as soon as you hear. One eager consumer standing by.

Different KT shirts are or were available at different places. The one
which IED mentioned in Love-Hounds was available briefly (for $10.00)
at Rene's All Ears Record Shop on Melrose Avenue, in West Hollywood
about three months ago. It quickly sold out, and none has been spotted
there since then. Joel Watkins used to have a nice t-shirt of his own
design for sale, and Dale Somerville had a shirt made for the 1983
Winnipeg KT convention. Both of those were advertised in various
issues of Break-Through, Dale's KT fanzine. Then there have been four
different KT shirts from the KB Club itself: the original 1978
Lionheart shirt; the Hounds of Love "designer" shirt (and t-shirt
equivalent) which was available for a few months through mail order,
using a form that was included in the sleeves of UK pressings of
Hounds of Love -- it was very expensive; and the two 1985 Romford
Convention-only shirts -- one was the really neat black sweatshirt
with "Hounds of Love" on the front and "It's in the trees...it's
coming" on the back which Doug mentions above (IED puts his on at the
slightest provocation), and the other a blue polo shirt with "Kate
Bush Convention 1985" on the front. In addition there was another
shirt available through Break-Through in polo-shirt style (i.e., a
t-shirt with a little blue fold-down collar sewn onto the top), which
has a picture of the Japanese kite from The Kick Inside on it, and
"Kate Bush" printed in "Kick Inside"-style Japanese lettering on the
back. So all told IED knows of eight shirts himself. Doug mentioned
the existence of a ninth which appropriately illustrates The Ninth
Wave. But whether you can find any of them now, who knows? You could
write to Intergallactic Garage (address in Break-Through), but then
you're paying outrageously inflated prices, and contributing to the
ripping off of hapless KT fans, as well as the Bush family, of course.

If enough L-Hs are willing to contribute, why not order
silkscreen t-shirts for Love-Hounds itself?
As for the question about a poster of the cover of "RUTH", no, but
there was a bootleg poster done of the still photo of Kate posing in a
dance position from the film with the male dancer, which has "Kate
Bush -- Running Up That Hill -- 7" and 12"" on it. It's just a crude
blow-up of the newsprint ad put out by EMI in England last September,
and it's on very thin paper. Rhino Records had a bunch of them,
selling for $8.00 apiece, but that was last April. Good luck.

Kate Bush the "greatest living human being"??? That's ridiculous.
Dear Love-Hounds readers, I implore you, please let us keep things in
the proper perspective. Kate the "greatest living human being"???
Kate is no mere human being, she is a God! Please try to keep this in
mind before you speak heresy.

Subject: Peter Murphy, The Mission
Organization: Public Access Un*x, Piscataway NJ (The Soup Kitchen)
I just got the new Peter Murphy LP, and The Mission's newest EP...
(they must've come out within the past week or so.)
Peter Murphy's LP comes in a gatefold sleeve with artwork similar
to that on his FINAL SOLUTION EP... hmm...I forgot that that single
was available in about 4 different sleeves! ANyway, it has crayola
art on the cover, and it's called SHOULD THE WORLD FAIL TO FALL APART.
It includes all the songs from the BLUE HEART EP, FINAL SOLUTION EP (including
THE ANSWER IS CLEAR), plus 6 other tracks. The main musicians are
Peter Murphy and Howard Highes, and features John McGeogh, Daniel ASh,
and many other people on various tracks.
The sound of the album as a whole reminds me of a the group, Dalis Car...
(of which Peter Murphy was in). Very little distorted guitar...I was
hoping for more songs that sounded like FINAL SOLUTION. But otherwise,
if you love synths, programmed rythms, and a pop-ish sound...I'd
recommend it.
........................................................................
THe Mission's EP...is...good...but I am getting bored of this stuff!
It is called 'II' (SInce it's their second EP, I guess...) It has
four tracks and 3 mini-tracks... The mini tracks are like solos by
members of the band - rather dull, if I may say so. The first track
LIKE A HURRICANE has to be one of the worst songs by them...while the
other three are more their usual sound. I think too many records have
been made with that standard Sisters of Mercy sound...and their music
just isn't evolving at all. I'd only recommend this for Sisters of Mercy
fans that haven't gotten sick of them yet... otherwise, their first single
was much better (SERPENTS KISS)...
........................................................................
By the way, is TUBULAR BELLS by Mike Oldfield available on CD? I haven't
seen it around...tho' I just got THE COMPLETE MIKE OLDFIELD, a double-CD
set...it's comprised of four sections:1) instrumental, 2) vocal, 3) complex,
4) live... and it cost $34...

I have *Tubular Bells* on CD. I got it nearly two years ago. It is a

... must be a woman then...
Roger Miller's (of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic) album *No Man Is Hurting
Me* is now out, and it's only a couple months late (which actually
makes it many months early)! It is just as wonderful as one would
expect, though I'm a little disappointed that many of my favourite
works by him were left off in favour of less favourite ones. It is
politically correct to acquire this album. The Love-Hounds police
will be checking up on you shortly.

Sounds nifty. Count me in!
>As for the question about a poster of the cover of "RUTH",
>no,
My favorite local record shop, Music Machine, staffed by a bunch
of Katefans, has a RUTH cover-poster on display (not for sale,
though). Maybe a limited number were made for promotion purposes
only. If the price is right, maybe they could be persuaded to
part with it -- I bought a promo poster of "The Ninth Wave" pic
there a while back...
Maybe I'm way behind the times with this bit of info, but I saw
a US 12" of "The Big Sky" at Tower Records last week. Same
songs as the Brit 12", but it's in a sturdy cardboard sleeve
instead of the flimsy type UK 12"s come in. (A friend with a
taste for social commentary says that's because the British feel
that pop music is inherently disposable, and what's more disposable
than a single, you'll just want to throw it away anyway.
Ridiculous, say I. I wouldn't part with my complete collection of
HOL 12" singles! Or with any of my others, for that matter.
However, it does mean that any used 12"s you buy over there will be
very dusty indeed...)
