Moments of Pleasure - UK CD Single


UK CD single for Moments of Pleasure. I mainly got this one at the time for the new track, which was Show A Little Devotion. It was an elusive track, like Home For Christmas, and they didn't turn up on too many of the releases. The info sticker is on the CD case and not the insert. I left it there ever since I got it in 1993. The problem with these stickers is that over time the glue from underneath sort of seeps to the surface and gives them a sort of greasy look.


The cover art is a still from The Line, The Cross and the Curve, and I think it's hilarious Kate would use this as the cover. The same cover is also featured on the UK 12" single and CD box set single.


The insert is folded in half. The other side is completely blank, so I didn't see the point of scanning that in.


The CD, which is a picture disc, comes in a very thin jewel case.

Moments of Pleasure CD Box Set


This was the second CD single release of Moments of Pleasure from the UK, which was issued as a limited edition box set, but also came with no new tracks. I found that disappointing at the time, and what made it even worse is that Show A Little Devotion was initially supposed to be on this release as well - but was dropped. Personally, I think it would have made a lot more sense to add Show A Little Devotion and Home For Christmas to this release.


The boxed CD also came with four full colour prints all measuring 5" x 5", but even those were a slight disappointment. Despite the fact that two of the prints featured new photos of Kate at the time, the other two were nothing more than the CD artwork and the printed lyrics.


I'm not sure if it's fair to call this one a letdown or not, but I do remember being disappointed with it. I think a lot of people, including myself, fell for the packaging aspect of it, and the sly way that EMI chose to market this as a box set. In hindsight, this is something I really could have lived without.
