Guest Appearances

	•	Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush: Don't Give Up
	•	Label/Number: Virgin PGS 212
	•	Release date: October 20, 1986
	•	Etc: Kate joined Peter Gabriel in the studio for his So sessions. The result was this top 10 UK single (#72 in the US), on which Kate is prominently featured.

	•	The Sun Ferry Aid: Let It Be
	•	Label/Number: Sun AID T1
	•	Release date: March, 1987
	•	Etc: In the spirit of Band Aid and Live Aid, a "musical who's who" of the mid 80s assembled in London March 14-16 to record this single to aid the survivors of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster which occurred on March 6th. It shot straight to #1 in the UK.
	•	Etc2: Kate is plainly heard singing the opening line on side A. She delivers the same line on side B in the Mega Message Mix of the song, but it's in a different place (approximately 3:30 in, at the start of the first verse reprise).
	•	Etc3: There are 6 different mixes of this song; 4 of which feature Kate. It's more than a little confusing -- look here for an explanation.

	•	Spirit Of The Forest
	•	Label/Number: Virgin 0-96551
	•	Release date: June, 1989
	•	Etc: Another benefit single featuring a number of prominent UK recording artists. (This one, produced by a group know as Gentlemen Without Weapons, was to save the rainforests.) It was featured on an environmental TV program called Our Common Future. There are a couple different mixes; Kate is plainly heard about halfway through version "A", singing the line: "Turn around, turn around, before it's too late".
	•	Etc2: In 1992, it was included on a benefit compilation called Earthrise: The Rainforest Album (the official United Nations Earth Summit Album). In 1994, Rhino picked up the distribution rights to Earthrise, and released it in the US.

	•	Utah Saints: Something Good
	•	Label/Number: fffr FX 187
	•	Release date: November 18, 1992
	•	Etc: The Utah Saints lifted "I just know that something good is going to happen" from Cloudbusting and turned it into a fairly interesting dance mix (for Kate fans at least). This isn't a guest appearance or a collaboration, but it uses Kate's voice, so I figure it belongs on this site somewhere...(!)
	•	Etc2: You can't see it on the sleeve, but the print on the bottom of the front says: "Respect & thanks to Kate Bush & Motorhead".
	•	Etc3: Three different mixes appear on this disc. The rear sleeve says: "Tracks One, Two & Three include the original recording 'Cloudbusting' as performed by Kate Bush which appears courtesy of Novercia Limited/EMI Records Limited. Published by Kate Bush Music Ltd/NTV Music."
	•	Etc4: A promo version was also issued in the US with 4 different mixes of the song, shown here.
