Kate Bush
"Cathy's Home Demos"
circa 1974

These recordings are known as "Cathy's Demos" and were recorded before she even had a record contract. All the songs are basically Kate playing the piano and singing her demo songs. The final 10 minutes are "Studio Rehearsals" tacked on the end.

In the May '89 issue of the Dutch Kate Bush fanzine Kate, co-editor (and longtime penpal of IED's) Theo Haast writes about the 22 demos. As far as IED could make out (the fanzine's text is in Dutch), Theo recently visited the U.S., and while there he obtained a copy of the 22 demos on a cassette. Apparently his copy was from an earlier generation, or at least a different source, because his version came with a listing of titles. Some of his titles are definitely wrong, but others are so apt that they suggest the possibility that some of the titles were Kate's original ones. No way to know for sure.
