[CRAZY-HORSE]

KATE BUSH "the kick inside" cd,1978.

Kates debut set...
not really sure which genre to put this in???!!!
back in 1977/78 disco and punk were the "new" thing, yet this strange mix of soprano vocals,classical music,and occasionally pop music outsold them all...totally out of left-field!!!
Wuthering Heights was the biggest selling single worldwide in 1978,yet one wouldnt normally expect this sort of thing to sell in those quantities...
pretty sure some of the production on here was done by Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame...
this is just a superb collection of songs that sound like nothing else i have ever heard,the pitch and control of her vocals is IMO 'perfect' to say the least, the music-the same....
it was a pure delight to hear this one again...
my favourite track on here is not the hit single but 'james and the cold gun', a very poppy sounding song somewhere between Elton and The Motels in sound and style.
