| • | Etc: The Sensual World was originally supposed to be Molly Bloom's speech (from the end of Ulysses) set to music, but Kate could not secure the rights from the Joyce estate, so she altered it. (Here is an excerpt from the original text, reproduced to show the source of Kate's inspiration.) | |
| • | Etc2: Be Kind To My Mistakes was originally released on the Castaway soundtrack in 1987, so technically, it's not really a non-LP track. But it's not easy to find, and the version that appears on this single is quite different, so I've included it on my Non-LP/CD list. |
