News: Kate's LP The Whole Story has
indeed already gone double platinum
in England, signifying sales of 600,000
units (a hell of a lot of LPs for a
country the size of England). In fact,
however, it had already sold more than
750,000 units BEFORE attaining the
number one spot this week over there,
so, according to Record Mirror's chart
file expert, it is destined to become
Kate's first-ever million-seller in the UK.
Cashbox puts it at number 63 in the U.S. this week.

For the sake of argument (and out of a profound sense
of desperation), IED challenges anyone reading this to name ONE record
made since the early Seventies that attains a level of thematic and
musical complexity, multi-level meaning and sophisticated cohesion of
music and production comparable to that achieved by Kate Bush since 1982.
IT CANNOT BE DONE! SUCH MUSIC DOES NOT EXIST!
