Kate Bush

Been listening to two boots from the first couple of nights for a while now. I skip the silly "comedic" interludes w/ her kid but the rest is so great. Looking forward to this release.

there is video on youtube, which I haven't watched yet, of entire shows

But I imagine that is not an official recording?

Prologue from this is really fantastic, extended to twice the length of the studio version with a completely new section. it's a real shame they're not releasing the video though.

it's that kind of primeval thing where you're trying to think, 'Can I get to that tree before the tiger gets me?'

live album is quite a nice piece. really wish i'd been there.

Suspended in gaffa is one of the best songs I've ever heard

best artist ever, no one will ever come close

did it really turn out she was a tory/brexiter? that would bum me out so much

she came out as a supporter of Theresa May/Tory, yeah.

Wasn't her Thatcher and May support limited to her appreciation of there being women in politics? And confessing she didn't really follow politics?

Yes.

She also sang "Ken" about Ken Livingstone, a bunch of years ago.

dang...well..she seems pretty uppercrust i guess :/

Person from Bexleyheath in Tory support shocker.

Kate Bush - Ken
United States Of America - Love Song For The Dead Ché
Morrissey - Last Of The Famous International Playboys

New thread - people who don't deserve good tribute songs.

The love of Richard Nixon..

If anyone's interested, I write a blog on Kate's music song-by-song: https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/08/01/the-man-with-the-child-in-his-eyes/

awesome thanks!

Nice!

Caught up with, and RSSed for future posts -- thanks! :-D

Oh, I don't believe I linked this, but here's my most recent blog post. My "Violin" essay should be up next week. https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/08/22/pick-the-rare-flower-on-fire-inside-a-snowball-so-soft-neverthless-youll-do-stranded-at-the-moonbase/

Wow good work

Kate Bush photo book is very very expensive. Cant do it.

Guess I'll keep sharing these until someone tells me not to (and even then...). Here's the story of Kate Bush inventing folk punk: https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/09/26/violin/

keep sharing these, thanks!

A total vanity project, this book, as was the Scott Walker one. I won’t be getting it, and it won’t be getting this fan, for sure.

i read elsewhere there was a rumor of another huge box set next year of all her work. I'd probably splurge for it again.

would love get repressings of some of her 80's work individually

Remasters and B sides comps and such!

shut up and take my money, etc

90 per vinyl box set seems a bit steep tbh

Still baffling IMO that there hasn't been a classic Greatest Hits/Best of/Gold type thing. The Whole Story was 30 years ago!

12" remix disc with only like 30 minutes of music on it that omits numerous tracks = DUD

Poor public service - she's definitely a Tory

LOL

the cover art is hilariously gross

Will these be sold seprately? I’ve been looking for a hounds of love reissue that doesn’t cost $100+

you'll pay $520 for the entire collection on vinyl and like it

The albums are also being released separately, but not the four rarities discs in the boxes (what did you expect?).

Awesome! Hopefully they don’t surpass the $30 dollar tag. It’s as much as I’m willing to pay.

Overall, it's kinda a disappointing collection for longtime fans. If you're doing an 11-disc box set and asking over $100 for it, why not make it a 12-disc and give your fans all the b-sides, remixes, and ephemera instead of leaving it incomplete? Why not throw in a blu-ray with all the videos, Live at the Hammersmith, and the Line, the Cross, and the Curve?

Bit mystified by this 100 dollar hounds of love reissue tbh, you can get a near mint copy off discogs for 10 euros

The ideal would have been something like the Purple Rain reissue which was clearly being aimed squarely at the non-casual fan; triple CDs of rarities, live films, offcuts and outtakes. This is more like a reissue from some time in the late 90s.

other than video stuff, the This Woman's Work box set was pretty comprehensive at the time!

the $100 Hounds of Love vinyl reissue was one of those MFSL kinda things that cost like $50 new to begin with, are limited runs, so instantly costs $100 on the secondary market... the original vinyl pressing sounds great, so just snag one of those in good condition for $10-15 like Colonel Poo suggests

if you can find a mint original then that's true. the audio fidelity issue (which is the one I have) sounds great though. didn't know it was going for that much these days.

I'm torn on this. part of me wants this even though I have all of these except for Aerial and Red Shoes so I really should buy just those; plus, why in god's name didn't she include Not This Time? Ken I can do without but Not This Time is one of her absolute best b-sides.

could probably fund this if I sold my This Woman's Work CD box which TBH sits unplayed on a shelf. Maybe I will. Dunno.

the cover art is hilariously gross

The bizarre Fish People artwork has been around since Director's Cut. I doubt it's Kate throwing shade at CD buyers; I guess she honestly thinks it looks good.

Wish she'd have done a deluxe reissue series like Jethro Tull has been doing, whatever your feelings about their music are, their deluxe editions are fantastic.
