| | Wow Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Despite all the problems, the music business (and show business in general) are still wonderful. | |
| | Running time: 3:41 | |
| | Fullhouse Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: An autobiographical song in which Kate talks about how hard it is to cope with feelings of paranoia, stress and anger. | |
| | Running time: 3:13 | |
| | Etc: The front sleeve shown here is the same as the UK release (except for the addition of the song title and the Sonopresse logo). Scan courtesy of Bart. | |
| | Etc2: The single is an edited version of Wow, although it's not labeled as such. On this and all other European Wow singles, the first :12 of synthesizer chords have been cut off. (Brazil and Canada used the full-length LP version.) | |
| | Etc3: Kate says Wow is her attempt at writing a "spacey" Pink Floyd song -- but not surprisingly, no one recognized it as such! |
