Be Kind To My Mistakes

b/w Brian Eno: Chemistry

(front) (rear)	•	Country: Germany
	•	Label/Number: EMI 7P 518 705
	•	Release date: Spring, 1987
	•	Chronology: A very rare promo only single featuring two songs from Nicholas Roeg's 1987 film, Castaway. Kate is on the A-side; Brian Eno is on the B-side.
	•	Be Kind To My Mistakes Lyrics
	•	What it's about: A woman asks for understanding as she tentatively explores a new relationship.
	•	Running time: 3:39 (full length version)
	•	Etc: Kate wrote and recorded this song (specifically for the film) in February, 1987. It was released a few months later, exclusively on this single and on the original soundtrack LP. A remixed, abridged version was actually used in the film itself (during the opening sequence).
	•	Etc2: Another edited version (virtually identical to the one used in the film) was released as a B-side to This Woman's Work in November, 1989. (It also appears on the US Aspects of The Sensual World CD single, and on the 1990 box set.)
	•	Etc3: Since it appears on the original soundtrack LP, it's not technically a non-LP track, but I've included it on my non-LP/CD list anyway (mainly because it's very difficult to find).
	•	Etc4: This is one of the rarest of all Kate singles -- only 600 were made. It's exclusive to Germany, it was never released commercially, and it's the only single that features the original (unarguably superior) version of the song. As a result, it has become *highly* collectable over the years.
