Anyone else collect Kate?
 

Just curious if anyone else collected Kate. With a new albumn coming out soon, it is time to dig out some stuff I have around. Here is one from an albumn sighning. (GASP - she used a PEN rather than a sharpie!) *cringe* A gold sharpie sig looks so cool on most things. I got her to sign a Hounds Albumn for me a few years later. Black Sharpie! Yeah! (I am moving so it is box'd up. will dig it out when I get moved in).

Oh you lucky bastard.

One more person I missed because I was TOO YOUNG. But now ...well I'll never meet her but if she ever did a live performance anywhere...I'd try to go.

Uh what does her shirt say??? It looks like even the great Kate was in on the rivalry I pointed out in the New Madonna single thread and got scolded for! :laugh:

If I remember right, it said "I am a primadonna, and you?". :nod:

I think she is still fearful of flying, so it's off to Engalnd to see her if she tours again. :(

Congrates on the sig! I love Kate, can't wait to hear the new album. I can't stop listening to Rocketman, man I love that cover.

I guess I jumped the gun on that one I thought it was a commentary on Madonna Ciccone,on futher examination it looks like she was signing 'The Dreaming ' album so would've been 1982 and pre-Madonna.

Well I tried to collect Kate but she kept complaining about the crammped quarters of the mason jar...ugh some people are so particular :p

Get a bigger jar....... :p

That's a really nice photo Jim. Have you shared it with the lovehounds or whatever they call themselves over on Gaffa Web? They would love it, I am sure.

To be honest, I never persued any of the Kate Boards or sites. She takes so dang long between albumns I lose interest, and just dig the stuff out now and again. I was a HUGE fan in the early days (Collected tons of stuff) , Kinda went to Stevie's camp now. With the new albumn I might get back into it more. I go through collecting phases... Kate.....Stevie....Tori....Stevie....(Allittle bit of this and that from other groups).... Kate....Stevie.....etc.

She HATES playing live and has only ever done one tour, back in the late 70s or early 80s I think. Anyway, before my gig-going time. So I doubt any of us will get to see her play live.
I remember when I was a school there was a big rumour she was going to do a UK tour, and we got all excited, 15 years later and nothing :(

Cool pic though.

Anyone else heard Kate's new tune? It sounds really wonderful, I can't wait for the new album.

1979. You can still find used copies of the VHS tape of "Live at the Hammersmith Odeon."

I was just checking a Tori bootleg site, and she has done "Running Up That Hill" twice in the last few weeks, apparently as a medley with her own song "God".

Still downloading, so can't comment. But seeing as Tori has been compared to Kate since her first album, should be pretty interesting.

Not trying to rip her at all because I like Tori,but without Kate Bush there would be no Tori Amos.

I wholeheartedly agree. :wavey:

I never did buy "This Woman's Work," the CD anthology, when it was still in print. But now I want it again. Problem is I want only the EMI Japan version, not the England or the Canada version. The Japan version is alleged to have significantly superior sound quality. The EMI England stuff is just bad. I bought the Hounds of Love special edition, EMI England, & it's supposed to be remixed & remastered & all that hooey but it sounds muffled & flat -- it sounds worse than my old cassette of the album did!

So I'm looking around on the Web now for the Japan anthology, & first of all, not many vendors have it in stock, & secondly, those that do have it are selling it for between $400 & $500!!

Your kidding! :shocked: I wanted the singles file way back when. It was always around $100-$150. (At the time). I found it on Ebay about a year ago for $24.99 and I was the only bidder. So just keep looking, it will turn up! With a new albumn coming out, there will be a flood of stuff again.

I just heard this one and while I enjoy quite a few of Tori's covers she should have left this one alone.Tori and Kate are so similar .partly by Tori's design I'm certain ,but IMO whileTori has an affecting voice ,there is a little something in Kate's voice .a quiver or otherworldliness that is inimitable and by covering RUTH Tori has shown up what Kate has that she doesn't and no one else does either.C'mon Aerial hurry up and get here! :blob1:

I have the boxed set, the Rocket Man single (with a cover of Candle in the Wind on it too), the This Woman's Work single and the The Man I Love single. She did a great cover of The Man I Love!

Nothing even remotely as close to a signed copy of THE DREAMING!!! TOTALLY JEALOUS! That's so great! She looks fantastic in the pic. Can't wait for the DOUBLE album.

YAY!

Kate Bush-rolling the ball...
 

While I like all her songs, I grow weary of her continual forays into Lindsay Kemp-inspired modern dance. I have no interest in her Kemp love, & unfortunately that "mime" & "movement" crap infects most of her videos & her performances.

Kate Bush is, if anything, even more brilliant a visionary as an arranger & musical ideationist than Lindsey Buckingham is. She also has a better track record: bigger bang for the buck per capita, essentially.

And at only 12 years between albums she works faster than he does too. :)

I collect Kate, too. Thanks so much for sharing that photo! Do you remember the "Dreaming Fairies" fanzine that was dedicated to Kate and Stevie?
