Hello KB fans. Back again with the second and last of my Kate postings. You were all great about sharing and your kind comments were much appreciated. Sorry if the artwork gave anyone trouble. I'll try to post it on the CD covers threads. Should be no problems this time, though.

A little history is in order regarding this release for those who may not know the story.
In 1972/73 Kate recorded several tapes of songs. Twenty to thirty of these songs were presented to record companies by John Carder Bush's friend Ricky Hopper, at first without success. Then Ricky Hopper presented the songs to David Gilmour. Gilmour noticed her talent, but also the bad tape recorder quality. A recording session took place at Kate's house with Gilmour in 1973. Only Kate was recorded, accompanied by her piano, but with a better recorder. Gilmour has spoken at least twice about this session in interviews. “I did some recording at her house, her parent's house...I know that one of the first songs that I noted was ‘The Man With the Child in His Eyes’, out of many songs that she had written. She was only 14, I think, when I met her, maybe just about 15.” This may be the session Kate had in mind, when she later said, “Absolutely terrified and trembling like a leaf, I sat down and played for him. He came along to see me and he was great, such a human, kind person - and genuine.” Gilmour has also said he “paid to have Kate go into a studio and re-record some fifty songs over again” possibly solo with her own piano accompaniment. Whether this refers to a separate studio session or the one with Gilmour and his musician friends as back-up is unclear. In any event, in August, 1973, Kate was recorded at Gilmour's farm studio with two “Unicorn” band members, drummer Peter Perrier and bassist Pat Martin. Gilmour played electric guitar. According to Gilmour between ten and twenty songs were recorded. This tape was sent to EMI.
