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.

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).

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'd love to have one with "The Dreaming" style pictures on it, if > available at all). 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. > 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). 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... -Doug "You know how that rabbit feels Going under your speeding wheels" [][][][][][][][][][] Date: Fri, 18 Jul 86 22:25:57 edt From: Greg Elder 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.

Wow! That's what IED calls Love-Hounds: 100% KT. Well, let's see: >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. 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 >a digitally encoded soundtrack which should make it the best all >around Kate expose available... This also means a high quality sound copy of the film-only remix section of "Cloudbusting". Amazing. >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.

Thanks very much, John. Please do announce any new info on this release as soon as you hear. One eager consumer standing by. >> From: tsung@aerospace.ARPA >> btw, where can I get a KB T-shirt? >You can find them every now and then in some record stores that carry >lots of obscure T-shirts.

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. >> (I'd love to have one with "The Dreaming"-style pictures on it, if >> available at all). >I've never seen one.

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.

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.

(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...

[][][][][][][][][][] Date: Mon, 21 Jul 86 06:13:27 EDT From: nessus (Doug Alan) Subject: No Man Is Hurting Me ... 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. -- No Man, that is my name [][][][][][][][][][] Date: Mon, 21 Jul 86 9:36:28 EDT From: Susanne E Trowbridge Subject: Kate products >If enough L-Hs are willing to contribute, why not order >silkscreen t-shirts for Love-Hounds itself? 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...) [][][][][][][][][][] End of Love-Hounds Digest
