Kate Bush - The Whole Story (CD 1986)

i really like kate bush. this cd had every song on that i wanted excellent cd, excellent value for money. if there is anyone who likes kate bush get it

The Whole Story covers all of Kate bush's most popular songs from the 1970s and early 1980s although it is by no means the whole story of her career. It opens with the re-recorded version of her atmospheric 1978 hit Wuthering Heights. This version has greater depth than the original single and still remains a most remarkable song based on the novel of the same name.

Bush is a unique singer-songwriter with a gift for striking romantic imagery, although her work is not always immediately accessible. The Man With The Child In His Eyes is a complex and moving ballad, whilst Wow is a powerful atmospheric pop song.

Her music can be quite idiosyncratic and full of oneiric imagery, like Breathing and The Dreaming. On the other hand, Babooshka is a buoyant pop song with a catchy tune. This compilation is charming and enjoyable. Overall, Kate's music can be described as a form of art rock, not always appealing on first listen, but very rewarding if you persist.

This is a tremendous album which features Kate Bush's greatest hits of yester-year. I brought this because my dad used to play it when i was younger and it is still as good as i remember. A must have for any Kate Bush fan!!

The Whole Story covers all of Kate Bush's most memorable songs from her first decade as an artist.This CD opens with a re-recorded version of her incredibly atmospheric 1978 hit, Wuthering Heights. (This version, in my opinion, has greater depth than the original single and remains one of the most remarkable songs ever recorded.)
Kate Bush is still one of the most important artists in contemporary music. If this is your first 'look' at her work I would highly recommend that you buy it.

Having been a fan of Kate Bush during the 70's and 80's the only album that I owned was Hounds of Love. As I'm now hitting my mid-life crisis I wanted to rekindle my old memories with some of the classic songs from my past. On the whole, (no pun intended), The Whole Story is exactly what it says on the box, featuring all the well known Kate Bush singles, (Wuthering Heights is still as haunting as ever). However, my only disappointment was that it did not contain Kate Bush's duet with Peter Gabriel, (Don't Give Up). If you're a fan of Kate Bush, this one is for you. If you are curious about the musical tastes of the late 70's / early 80's listen with caution, Kate Bush was an innovative songstress and some of her songs can take a bit of getting used to.

I bought this CD as I want to sing the man with the child in his eyes and I also bought the music of Ebay. The CD was in excellent condition and I like all thh tracks. It has certainly taken me back to my youth!

Having played on a playstation game, I believe it was a 'Singstar' game, and seeing a Kate Bush song on their reminded me that I had an LP of hers in my loft, and as I can't play it anymore as I don't have a turntable I searched ebay for any cd's and found quite a few! I have bought two and shall be coming back for more, now my children can sing with me in the car, to 'proper' music!!!
