Guest Appearances on CD

Guest Appearances

	•	Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush: Don't Give Up
	•	Label/Number: Geffen PRO-CD-2680
	•	Release date: October 20, 1986
	•	Etc: Six years after their first collaboration, Kate returned to the studio with Peter Gabriel for his So sessions. The result was this top 10 UK single (#72 in the US), on which Kate is prominently featured.
	•	Etc2: 7" and 12" singles were issued in promo and commercial configurations worldwide, but the CD single was released only in the US in a custom promo digipak.
	•	Etc3: In 1992, Don't Give Up was reissued on another promo only CD single. This time, it was in support of a benefit compilation called Earthrise: The Rainforest Album (the official United Nations Earth Summit Album). It's shown here.

	•	Midge Ure: Answers To Nothing
	•	Label/Number: Chrysalis URECD 5
	•	Release date: 1988
	•	Etc: This is a 3-track CD single. The 3rd track, called Selections from Answers to Nothing, is a 10:15 compilation of tracks from the LP/CD. Kate is featured on the first 1:27 of this track, with part of her vocal contribution to Midge Ure's Sister & Brother.

	•	Peter Gabriel: Steam (CD maxi-single)
	•	Label/Number: Geffen GEFDM-21820
	•	Release date: Fall, 1992
	•	Etc: Games Without Frontiers (Massive/DB Mix) is the second track on the Steam maxi-single. It's a (really great!) remixed version of the song Kate contributed backing vocals to in January, 1980. Like on the original, she is plainly heard singing "Jeux sans frontieres".

	•	Utah Saints: Something Good
	•	Label/Number: ffrr FCD 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: This CD single includes 4 tracks, the first 3 of which include Cloudbusting samples: a 7 inch mix, a 12 inch mix, and something called an "051 Mix".
	•	Etc3: "Respect & thanks to Kate Bush & Motorhead" appears in tiny print on the disc and its cover.
	•	Etc4: The rear of the title card says: "Includes 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."

	•	Utah Saints: Something Good
	•	Label/Number: London 869 843-2
	•	Release date: November, 1992
	•	Etc: Same as above, but this one is the US version.
	•	Etc2: This one includes 7 tracks, the 1st and 6th of which are different mixes of Something Good (a 5:55 single mix and the 5:45 "051 mix" mentioned above).

	•	Spirit Of The Forest
	•	Label/Number: Pyramid PRCD-7128
	•	Release date: April, 1995
	•	Etc: A benefit single featuring a number of prominent UK recording artists. Originally recorded in 1989, it was produced by a group know as Gentlemen Without Weapons to help save the rainforests. There are several different versions; Kate is plainly heard near the end on this one 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.
	•	Etc3: The promo version shown above was issued in April, 1995 as the official Earth Day Single. It features an abridged (3:48) mix of the song that I've never seen on any other release.
