Experiment IV Lyrics
What it's about: A secret military plan to create a sound that's horrific enough to kill from a distance.
Running time: 4:19
Wuthering Heights (New Vocal) Lyrics
What it's about: Kate's nod to Emily Bronte's classic romance novel. (More specifically, the ending, where Cathy comes back as a spirit to claim Heathcliff's soul.)
Running time: 4:57
Etc: Kate re-recorded Wuthering Heights because she thought the original sounded "too 70s" and too much like a "little girl singing".
Etc2: First pressings have glossy card stock sleeves and no picture on the rear. Later pressings have matte finish paper sleeves and a small picture of The Whole Story album cover on the rear. Here is a side by side comparison.
Etc3: One of the elements EMI used to promote the single in the UK was a very nice diecut counter stand (shown here).
