LEGENDS: The Very Best Of Kate Bush

Kate Bush to re-release her back catalogue!

Kate Bush will release her back catalogue in new physical formats, which available to order now through her newly redesigned website. The new formats include two radically different presentations of the “Hounds Of Love” album, the first – The Baskerville Edition – featuring new artwork and illustrations by the Glasgow based design studio Timorous Beasties, plus a solar powered flashing LED light!

The second new presentation of the album consists of two boxes, each containing one side of the album. Each disc features a UV printed illustration on white vinyl and a battery powered LED light. While new physical versions of each of her studio albums from her 1978 debut, “The Kick Inside”, to her most recent, 2011’s “50 Words For Snow”, are presented in different formats including coloured vinyl, some only available through independent record stores and Kate’s own website. All the coloured vinyl formats are mixed colour and thus each one is individual.

It was in 1978 that the 19 year old made an impact when her debut single “Wuthering Heights” went to number one and began a string of hit singles and multi-Platinum certified albums on boths ides of the Atlantic. 44 years after she landed at the top, Kate was back when her 1986 single “Running Up That Hill” finally went to number one in multiple countries, even thougn Kate herself had been quiet for more than a decade. 1978 saw Kate deliver not one but two albums with “Lionheart” also achieving Platinum status and featuring the hit single “Wow”.

Kate is no stranger to weird yet beautiful songs and in 1980, “Babooshka” gave her another huge hit, while her album “Never For Ever” earned her a first number one album in the UK. “1982’s “The Dreaming” brought more discs while 1986 delivered “Hounds Of Love”, which gave Kate a huge hit in America and a number of singles alongside “Running Up That Hill” with “Cloudbusting” and the title track. Her duet with Peter Gabriel “Don’t Give up” also in 1986, solidified her status as Britain’s most successful singer of the moment and both Brit and Grammy Awards followed. 1989 saw Kate release “The Sensual World” along with the title track as the lead single and one of her most memorable and enduring songs, “This Woman’s Work”.

After her superb cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” in 1991, Kate was back herself in 1993 with the album “The Red Shoes”, which features four UK top 40 charting singles. After her most lengthy absence to date, Kate took twelve years to break, re-energise and write her next album, “Aerial”, which kept the unbroken run of UK top three charting albums unbroken. While “50 Words For Snow” remains her most recent contribution, interest in both “Running Up That Hill” and “This Woman’s Work” has kept Kate’s name and music very much in the public conscious, whether watching television commercials or simply hearing her unique and magical sounds as part of every day life.
