did it really turn out she was a tory/brexiter? that would bum me out so much
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 13 November 2017 17:10 (six years ago) link
she came out as a supporter of Theresa May/Tory, yeah.
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link
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?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 13 November 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link
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.

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/

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.
― Max Florian, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 14:14 (five years ago) link
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.
― akm, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
would love get repressings of some of her 80's work individually

Remasters and B sides comps and such!

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

Will these be sold seprately? I’ve been looking for a hounds of love reissue that doesn’t cost $100+
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 4 October 2018 15:19 (five years ago) link
you'll pay $520 for the entire collection on vinyl and like it
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 October 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link
The albums are also being released separately, but not the four rarities discs in the boxes (what did you expect?).
― sleeve, Thursday, 4 October 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link
Awesome! Hopefully they don’t surpass the $30 dollar tag. It’s as much as I’m willing to pay.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 4 October 2018 15:36 (five years ago) link
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
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 4 October 2018 18:17 (five years ago) link
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.
― piscesx, Thursday, 4 October 2018 18:23 (five years ago) link
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
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 October 2018 18:34 (five years ago) link
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 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.

Hey, since Bush is putting out some old demos, why not read about a few more of hers? https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/10/17/255/

anyone ever see that video where the delius associate hears the track from NFE and says that delius wouldnt have liked it, lol

To be honest her album covers have never been very interesting or good looking.
