Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

Done

 

Even though I have those b-sides in every known format , it would be nice to see/hear them on such a production mastered by either Hoffman or Gray. Though it would be interesting to see what Marshall did with DCC when those non album tracks used to appear on the Gold CD version of an album. A Gold CD with extra tracks...yes,please!

 

Done. This would be phenomenal at 45 RPM, and including some of the 12" single mixes (like the title track) and non-album b-sides would be nice too.

 

+1. (AF HoL on CD.)

 

An AF HOL would be awesome!

 

I'd love an AF Hounds of Love CD or SACD.

 

It will never happen, but I want this album to be mixed in surround sound more than any other album I know of! So, SACD - yeah!

Darn, I would have bought that at the price it went for. To bad I wasn't home when the auction was still going on.

 

Rushfan has a Japan copy of Hounds of Love in Classifieds right now--someone should snag it.

i have "this woman's work" box on VINYL!

ALL THE LP'S PLUS 3 LP'S WITH SINGLES, REMIXES, ETC. ..

For my money, "hounds of love" is the album of the 80's.

 

I would buy it.

Never for Ever would be nice as well.

 

These are great suggestions. I only ever had the Hounds of Love and the Whole Story. Finally decided to get 'em all. Got the box and am slowly working my way through it. Her vocal style on the early ones take some getting used to, but there's something on all of them that I like. The Dreaming is fantastic !

 

I would buy anything Kate Bush, even if it was 8-track.

 

To each their own, but I find The Dreaming to be the only weak entry in her catalog.

 

She sure is great.

 

And my favorite.

 

"The Dreaming" is even better than "Hounds Of Love" imo. It's just brilliant. It takes about a half dozen listens to really sink in.

 

I would love to see Hounds of Love released on SACD.

 

I can remember being at school and our English teacher talking about 'Wuthering Heights' He told us that he thought it was quite a clever song for such a young girl to write. I hadn't heard it yet. I turned to a school mate and asked him what it was like? He said, 'Like nothing else' That first line I heard about her sums her up.

I became a big fan. She was never as 'cool' amongst my school friends as Debbie Harry was at that time but I knew that she was unique.

When HOL was released I felt vindicated, all my mates were blown away and Kate Bush became their discovery. I'm in one of the videos from the album. 'The Big Sky'. Kate was great, she used to cadge cigarettes off of my friend and myself, pointing out that she couldn't carry her own as her space-suit had no pockets. She tried to get me a major role in the video but was knocked back becasuse I wasn't a member of the actor's union. She told me that she had recorded 'Don't Give Up' with Peter Gabriel months before it was released.

A genius of our time.

Visit it and prepare to be astounded. She was 15 at the time she did all that.

 

Yes, I'm familiar with those demos partly due to that web site which has been up for years. She's just so unique, obvious from her early demos and school poetry. And when I found out that she looked great as well!

As I'm sure you know, EMI took time to nurture her, they knew it wasn't a talent to be exploited as rapidly as possible.

 

Quite singular in the music world, yes. I think EMI even sponsored her the Lindsey Kemp lessons AND allowed her to release Wuthering Heights as the first single off TKI against the their own plans. How often does that happen? In addition, I believe she is the only artist that has stayed signed on a major recording label over a period of 12 (!) years of virtually no releases at all.
They really must know what they have in her.

 

Quick question, so I'm still making my way through the box, and the Sensual World sounds kind of trebly. Different than the other releases. Is this just how it sounds? No fundamentally better mastering out there?

 

for kate bush, i always thought the production was great and the masterings not so great.

 

I think it's the original recording that's at fault.
