4.4. Basic Kate Bush Discography/Videography part3
The Whole Story (TWS, November 10, 1986)
A compilation of Kate's biggest hits to date, also available on video.
Tracks: Wuthering Heights (new vocal), Cloudbusting, The Man With The
Child In His Eyes, Breathing, Wow, Hounds Of Love, Running Up That
Hill, Army Dreamers, Sat In Your Lap, Experiment IV, The Dreaming,
Babooshka. Additional on video: The Big Sky. Additional on new
edition of (PAL) LaserDisc: The Sensual World, This Woman's Work,
Love And Anger
The Sensual World (TSW, October 17, 1989):
According to Kate this is her "most feminine" album. Any idea as what
this means? Many complain about noisy engineering, which seems to vary
at least a bit with the country of origin of the CD. Some love it,
some don't quite love it, especially "Reaching Out".
Tracks: The Sensual World, Love And Anger, The Fog, Reaching Out, Heads
We're Dancing, Deeper Understanding, Between A Man And A Woman, Never
Be Mine, Rocket's Tail, This Woman's Work, Walk Straight Down The
Middle (last track not on LP version)
This Woman's Work Boxed Set (TWW, 1990).
Not released in the USA, only in UK, Japan, Canada and France.
Awfully pricey, and no lyrics or credits on the extra disks except
for the Japanese version. The box includes all 6 regular albums (no
TWS of course) as well as two special extra discs that normally aren't
available separately. These two discs contain almost all B-sides,
dance-mixes and other incidentals. Some are unfortunately missing,
major ones are: Dreamtime (The Dreaming instrumental/remix), Running
Up That Hill (instrumental), Breathing and Do Bears... (live, from
"The Utterly Utterly Live Comic Relief)", The Sensual World
(instrumental), Be Kind to My Mistakes (original soundtrack album
version, much longer than and very different from the single remix,
most like it better), The Confrontation (instrumental from the Comic
Strip film GLC). It doesn't contain any previously unreleased
material or session work with other artists. Great music though,
yeah! And the first time most of these songs are available on CD.
The French version is a re-shrink-wrapped UK version. The Canadian
version, lately easily available and relatively cheap, does contain
the Canadian CDs which do have thinner booklets for some of the
regular albums that do not always contain the lyrics. The Japanese
version has:
- none of the 4-12 stickers with the new KTfem symbol: _O_
Any idea of what to do with them? |<
- more and bigger booklets in Japanese, including lyrics in
English and Japanese, especially also for the two special CDs.
The Japanese text basically is a hybrid of the biography
entries from "Kate Bush Complete" and "A Visual Documentary"
[TC2]. The text parts of the English booklets are contained
completely in the Japanese booklets (in English language even).
- the Japanese cover art for TKI and NfE, as well as
- Japanese CDs which have the usual benefit of somehow "sounding
better". This IS true (come here and I'll show you), but mainly
comes from better pressing, not from different data. Better
pressing means less drop outs and less need of error correction.
If you've got a good player this doesn't matter at all.
The LP and Cassette version of this box have 9 LPs/CCs, but the same
track listing.
Tracks: (CD1:) The Empty Bullring, Ran Tan Waltz, Passing Through Air,
December Will Be Magic Again, Warm And Soothing, Lord Of The Reedy
River, Ne T'En Fui Pas, Un Baiser D'Enfant, Under The Ivy, Burning
Bridge, My Lagan Love, The Handsome Cabin Boy, Not This Time, Walk
Straight Down The Middle, Be Kind To My Mistakes, (CD2:) I'm Still
Waiting, Ken, One Last Look Around The House Before We Go...,
Wuthering Heights (New Vocal), Experiment IV, Them Heavy People
(live), Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake (live), James And The
Cold Gun (live), L'Amour Looks Something Like You (live), Running Up
That Hill (Maxi), Cloudbusting (The Organon Mix), Hounds Of Love
(Alternative), The Big Sky (Meteorological Mix), Experiment IV (12"
Mix)
The Red Shoes (TRS, November 1, 1993):
Her "most accessible" album. At first it sounds untypical for Kate,
but this has been valid for every new album so far. There are
several special editions of this album, one official from UK, one
official from the USA, and several unofficial repackagings.
Tracks: Rubberband Girl, And So is Love, Eat the Music, Moments of
Pleasure, The Song of Solomon, Lily, The Red Shoes, Top of the City,
Constellation of the Heart, Big Stripey Lie, Why Should I Love You?,
You're the One
Live At The Hammersmith Odeon (1981/1994):
CD of the official video tape (see below).
Tracks: Moving, Them Heavy People, Violin, Strange Phenomena, Hammer
Horror, Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake, Wow, Feel It, Kite,
