Love and anger - Kate Bush

By her own admission, 'Love and anger' was the hardest song on Kate Bush's 1989 album 'The sensual world' to get together. She started writing on it time and again but it didn't seem to want to come together. When it was released as the third single from the album, it seemed a curious choice, since many other tracks were a lot more accessible for a casual audience. It was obviously never going to become a big hit.

The extra tracks on this CD-single come from Kate's involvement with the Comic Strip, a British TV programme for which she provided a few mainly instrumental tracks for the soundtrack. Again, odd pieces of music but interesting enough to warrant the acquisition of this CD-single.

1. Love and anger
2. Ken
3. The confrontation
4. One last look around the house before we go...

Interview 1986 - Kate Bush

This 'limited edition 3" CD', as it is described on the cover, is actually a 5" CD and not only a limited edition but also very illegal. The 'Interview 1986' was recorded in 1985 and was taken from an uncredited source. It's not a very long interview either: at just 7'19 it could be considered something of a ripoff. But I wouldn't have bought this if it was very expensive, so that shouldn't be a feeling connected to this.

The truest statement comes from the inside of the sleeve: "There will never be another Kate Bush".

This woman's work - Kate Bush

Originally released on the soundtrack of the movie 'She's having a baby' in 1988, 'This woman's work' also appeared as the second single of 'The sensual world', Kate's sixth album. The single mix of this track was only slightly different from the album version, so this disc's real surprises were the two extra tracks: a new version of 'Be kind to my mistakes' (originally released on the soundtrack of the movie 'Castaway', also in 1988) and the dynamic 'I'm still waiting', with some pretty intriguing adlib vocals by Kate.

The sensual world - Kate Bush

Two years into my new hobby of buying CD-singles, there were still a lot of 'firsts'. No 'first' was more important than this one: my first Kate Bush CD-single.

Released in advance of her sixth album of the same name, 'The sensual world' was promoted with a beautiful video, a 7" single, a 12" single, a cassette single and a CD-single. It took some time to buy them all, but this format was the first I bought.

1. The sensual world
2. The sensual world (instrumental)
3. Walk straight down the middle
