Is this anything to cheer about?
Maybe if she's going to sit her butt in a chair and sign them for her aging nerd-fans. Otherwise, who'd want to dump so much money to Amazon? Besides Darren Cock?
The set, we're told, "is dominated by her fifth studio album Hounds Of Love, which features across all three acts.
The first act includes songs from throughout the Wuthering Heights singer’s career, including Running Up That Hill and Never Be Mine.
On the second CD – or act two – a spoken monologue titled Astronomer’s Call is included followed by a series of tracks from The Ninth Wave — side two of 1985′s Hounds Of Love.
Act three features songs from the 2005 album Aerial before ending with Among Angels from 50 Words For Snow and Cloudbusting, which is another Hounds Of Love track.
Anyone REALLY excited by this? Mostly the same stuff, just "live?" As if Kate was such an innovative vocalist the live versions were radically different from the studio ones? Put it this way, that old Hammersmith Odeon show was memorable because of her fanciful miming and her pert body and face, not the singing.
Couldn't this shit have easily fit shaved down to ONE CD of the "best" material? Which wouldn't include all the fucking screeching?
How nice that older fans have the disposable income to indulge aging stars in the antiquated "box set" Christmas prezzie idea. But how many of her fans croaked in the two years since she appeared in concert? How many more have no idea how to get to a record store or operate their computers anymore? Fortunately quite a few have such bad eye sight they won't mind that Kate's super-sized.
