4.4. Basic Kate Bush Discography/Videography part2
The Studio Demos (7 songs, 1977?, often listed along with The Cathy Demos)
Most of the times these share the space on CDs, LPs, singles or tapes
with The Cathy Demos, the biggest distinction is that the studio demos
were done together with the KT Bush Band instead of Kate alone at her
piano. (Babooshka differs in style and might have been recorded at
Dave Gilmor's studio, some comments on various bootlegs about the
second version suggest this)
Tracks (same comments about the names as above): Don't Push Your Foot
On The Heartbrake, Kite, L'Amour Looks Something Like You, Strange
Phenomena, Scares Me Silly (Really Gets Me Going), Babooshka
(2 versions),
There have been rumors about a 'new' old Kate song called Turkish
Delight. Unfortunately the song is not from Kate, but rather from
the Japanese group Sandii and the Sunsetz [VM, WW, Homeground #32].
The Kick Inside (TKI, February 17, 1978):
The 'official' young Kate, full of passion, including her up to date
only British number one megahit Wuthering Heights.
Tracks: Moving, The Saxophone Song, Strange Phenomena, Kite, The Man
With The Child In His Eyes, Wuthering Heights, James And The Cold Gun,
Feel It, Oh To Be In Love, L'Amour Looks Something Like You, Them
Heavy People, Room For The Life
Lionheart (LH, November 13, 1978):
Quick follow-up to TKI, but still true Kate, i.e. great stuff.
This album now is available in a special $80 "Lioness At Heart"
edition, which includes a T-shirt, an album sized photo book, a
poster and a postcard. It's out of print now, and you might have to
search a bit. Caveat Emptor: This boxed set, while not really a
bootleg in the traditional sense, in not in any way authorized by
Kate or EMI.
Tracks: Symphony In Blue, In Search Of Peter Pan, Wow, Don't Push
Your Foot On The Heartbrake, Oh England My Lionheart, Fullhouse, In
The Warm Room, Kashka From Baghdad, Coffee Homeground, Hammer Horror
Never For Ever (NfE, September 8, 1980):
Shows the beginning of Kate's career as a producer and a general
change of style away from the girlish high pitched voice from the
first two albums.
This album is also available in a special edition similar to the
"A Lioness At Heart" box. Also out of print it additionally includes
a numbered certificate. Again, this is not an official re-packaging.
Tracks: Babooshka, Delius (Song Of Summer), Blow Away (For Bill), All
We Ever Look For, Egypt, The Wedding List, Violin, The Infant Kiss,
Night Scented Stock, Army Dreamers, Breathing
The Dreaming (TD, September 13, 1982):
Many say this is Kate's best work to date, though it was not as
successful commercially. Difficult to get into, but if you finally
reach it, then: play it... LOUDER!
Sat In Your Lap, There Goes A Tenner, Pull Out The Pin, Suspended In
Gaffa, Leave It Open, The Dreaming, Night Of The Swallow, All The
Love, Houdini, Get Out Of My House
The Singles File (TSF, January 23, 1984):
Box of all UK 7" vinyl singles up to 1984, very collectible.
It contains a booklet and the following singles: Wuthering
Heights/Kite, The Man With The Child In His Eyes/Moving, Hammer
Horror/Coffee Homeground, Wow/Fullhouse, On Stage (Them Heavy
People/Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake/James And The Cold
Gun/L'Amour Looks Something Like You, all live), Breathing/The Empty
Bullring, Babooshka/Ran Tan Waltz, Army Dreamers/Delius/Passing
Through Air, December Will Be Magic Again/Warm And Soothing, Sat In
Your Lap/Lord Of The Reedy River, The Dreaming/Dreamtime, There Goes
A Tenner/Ne T'Enfuis Pas, Ne T'Enfuis Pas/Un Baiser D'Enfant
Hounds of Love (HoL, September 16, 1985):
Two sided album, even on CD. One side light, one side dark. The
dark side once was supposed to be filmed, but the movie got lost in
all the promotion that came around HoL and TWS. Side two, also
called The Ninth Wave, is about a woman drowning alone at night in
the sea. All her dreams, emotions, thoughts, memories pass by in the
songs. Is she rescued? Kate says so, your mileage may vary.
Tracks: (HOL:) Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), Hounds Of Love,
The Big Sky, Mother Stands For Comfort, Cloudbusting, (TNW:) And Dream
Of Sheep, Under Ice, Waking The Witch, Watching You Without Me, Jig Of
Life, Hello Earth, The Morning Fog
