4.11. What about the inscriptions on the vinyl discs? (Kate Bush Info)
On a lot of English first pressings of vinyl records you can find an
inscription in the runout area of the disc. Sometimes these can still
be found on later pressings, sometimes not. Except for the messages on
the 'Breathing' and 'There Goes A Tenner' discs these messages do not
appear on the singles from the 'The Single File' boxed set. Kate does not
only know about the inscriptions, she even writes them, so most of them
are of some significance (comments in []s). Most vinyl records do have
some numbers and/or the name of the mastering facility/person scratched
in the runout area (e.g. Townhouse, Orlake). These normally appear on
more than one record and are not written by Kate.
Here's a list of the inscriptions on the first releases of the vinyl
