Hopefully by the time the digest goes out tonight someone will post how

a post forwarded from the Enya mailing list to the Kate mailing list
to here:

Of course, the Peter has the name of the Tori cut wrong.  Does anyone
know which Tori appears on this tape?  I assume that this is a UK only
release.  Does anyone know the label and catalog number for this release?
We still don't know the label of the _All Women 2_ release that was
mentioned here, either.
