Kate Bush 1st Press OZ LP The Kick inside VG+ '78 EMI EMC3223
Original OZ LP released in 1978 on EMI Records. Cat: EMC-3223.
Kate Bush's first album, The Kick Inside, released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old (but featuring some songs written at 15 and recorded at 16), is her most unabashedly romantic, the sound of an impressionable and highly precocious teenager spreading her wings for the first time. The centerpiece is "Wuthering Heights," which was a hit everywhere except the United States (and propelled the Emily Brontë novel back onto the best-seller lists in England), but there is a lot else here to enjoy: The disturbing "Man with the Child in His Eyes," the catchy rocker "James and the Cold Gun," and "Feel It," an early manifestation of Bush's explorations of sexual experience in song, which would culminate with "Hounds of Love."
Tracks : Moving/ The saxophone song/ Strange phenomena/ Kite/ The man with the child in his eyes/ Wuthering heights/ James and the cold gun/ Feel it/ Oh to be in love/ L'amour looks something like you/ Them heavy people/ Room for the life/ The kick inside.
