• | Country: UK |
| • | Label/Number: EMI CDEMDJ 674 | |
| • | Release date: Early October, 2005 | |
| • | Chronology: A one-track, promo-only, picture disc EU release of the lead single from Aerial, housed in a single pocket cardboard sleeve. | |
| • | Cover drawing by Bertie (Kate's son) | |
| • | King Of The Mountain Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: A lament about the loneliness and the loss of innocence and anonymity one suffers when they become famous. (But after seeing the video, it could just be "a song about Elvis"...) | |
| • | Running time: 4:45 | |
| • | Etc: King Of The Mountain marked Kate's return from a 9 year, 4 month drought. It was her first new material since Mná na hÉireann in May, 1996. | |
| • | Etc2: It was an even longer drought for US fans. Her last release on this side of the Atlantic was The Man I Love (11 years, 2 months earlier). | |
| • | Etc3: Issued a little less than a month in advance of the commercial version, release-starved fans around the globe immediately began to grab them off eBay for exorbitant prices. | |
| • | Etc4: This is credited as a UK release on this page, but it's an EU pressing and was apparently issued simultaneously all over Europe. US fans were treated to a similar release at a private listening party in New York, packaged in a slim jewel case. | |
| • | Etc5: Slight color variations exist on this promo. In addition to the one shown here, there is also one with a more "greenish" tone (with a different matrix number). | |
