Kate - Strange Girl / Don't Make A Sound - UK CBS 3631 1968 ** Prog Psych DEMO Matrix 7613
Strange Girl - Angela? Nice mid tempo dreamy/atmospheric sound with sax. great vocals.
Don't Make A Sound - This track has Stompibility! lashings of phase, sounds more 70's to my ears, reminded me of a prog version of Slade's Coz I Luv U.
Both are Real Nice sounds could have easily been a hit if CBS had promoted.

Chris Gilbey wrote on his website
Back in 1968 I was in London and was a guitarist and songwriter in a band called Kate.
We were signed to CBS Records.
Our first single was called “Strange Girl” and it was almost a hit.
Got great reviews including Record of the Week in Melody Maker (thank you, Chris Welch) and got a reasonable amount of airplay.
But it wasn't a hit. So no cigar.
We recorded a couple of other singles and had an abortive tour of Germany and then the band broke up. These things happen!
I am now writing a book about those times…
I was totally blown away to find that the single had been on a compilation album of post psychedelic tracks from the UK from that era.
heard the song on a podcast from someone in the UK. Wonderful. It sounds pretty good!
Chris Gilbey was born at Whittington Hospital in North London.
He attended Tollington Boys High.
Chris was a member of Kate, a pop group signed to CBS Records in the UK.
He co-wrote several singles by the band including their first single, "Strange Girl", which was a Melody Maker "record of the week".
Gilbey migrated to Australia in November 1972.
Chris Gilbey OAM (born 13 May 1946 in Islington, UK) is an Australian entrepreneur and music industry identity.
He has helped shape the careers of artists such as INXS, Tommy Emmanuel, Keith Urban, The Church, The Saints, AC/DC and Stevie Wright.
He has also authored two books, and founded, co-founded and/or held leadership positions with a range of businesses, charities and non-government organisations.
After leaving the music industry he became a successful entrepreneur in the technology sector of business working
closely with people who created technologies rather than music, with the belief that as time went by and music became
controlled by big business, technology represented the bleeding edge of creativity.

**** The labels are nice and clean as per the scans and both sides plays perfect.
I have noticed a couple of scuffs/marks on the 'B' side - does not affect play.
Good Luck! on your bid....
