Must be new to net.music....  [And in that case, if you want to be on a

It wasn't the album that was changed, it was the single.  The original
name for "Running Up That Hill" was "A Deal With God" -- in fact, on the
album it's called "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)".  Rumour says
that EMI pressured Kate to change the name because people would be
offended by the title "A Deal With God".  I dunno what was originally on
the cover of the single "Running Up That Hill", but supposedly that had
to be changed too.  All this caused a several month delay.

> And what keeps her at EMI?

Actually I hear that EMI loves her.  EMI says they do, and claims that
they feel she is a great artist and wouldn't interfere with anything
Kate wants to do.  They do let Kate pick which songs are to be released
as singles, and she often makes very unusual choices.  They probably
also don't interfere with her music.  EMI is probably better than any of
the other sleazy big record companies she could work for.

I say that now that she has her own recording studio, though, she should
move over to Chris Cutler's record company....  [What?  And not make
megabucks?]
