A very nice group photo appears on the rear of the sleeve,
shown here. (Sleeve

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush: Don't
Give Up |
| • |
Label/Number:
Virgin PGS2 |
| • |
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:
A limited edition poster sleeve featuring a still from
the video was released simultaneously (Virgin PGSP 2). |
| • |
Etc3:
Promo copies (Virgin PGS DJ2) included a photo insert of
the same image (shown here). |
| • |
Etc4:
In 1989, Don't Give Up appeared as a B-side on a
Spanish promo single in support of an International
Hostage Release LP (issued as a fundraiser by a
group dedicated to the release of political prisoners
around the globe). The front and rear are shown here. |

The Sun Ferry Aid: Let It Be |
| • |
Label/Number:
Profile PRO-5147 |
| • |
Release
date: March, 1987 |
| • |
Etc:
In the spirit of Band Aid and Live Aid,
a "musical who's who" of the mid 80s assembled
in London March 14-16 to record this single to aid the
survivors of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster which occurred
on March 6th. It shot straight to #1 in the UK. Kate is
plainly heard singing the first verse reprise on side A. |
| • |
Etc2:
The UK 7" is 6:12. The version released in the US is
only 4:38 (the final 1:30 of the chorus is clipped). Kate's
contribution is identical on both. |
| • |
Etc3:
There are 6 different mixes of this song; 4 of which
feature Kate. It's more than a little confusing -- look here for an explanation. |

Go West: The King Is Dead |
| • |
Label/Number:
Chrysalis GOW 6 |
| • |
Release
date: Summer, 1987 |
| • |
Etc:
In March, 1987, Kate joined Peter Cox and the rest of Go
West in the studio to contribute backing vocals to this
track. It leads off the B-side of their 1987 Dancing
On The Couch LP, and was released as a single later
on in the year. |
| • |
Etc2:
If you listen closely, you'll hear Kate in the background
singing the lines: "You let me in behind the lies,
But you're no use to me lifesize." |
| • |
Etc3:
She also sings "The King Is Dead" refrain a
number of times at the end, but you'd never know it was
her... |

Utah Saints: Something Good |
| • |
Label/Number:
ffrr 869-732-7 |
| • |
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:
You can't see it on the sleeve shown here, but the print
on the bottom says: "Respect & thanks to Kate
Bush & Motorhead." |
| • |
Etc3:
The rear sleeve 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." (Scan and
