“It’s very exciting to see people appreciating the physical presence of an album released on vinyl. It’s how it’s always been for me, especially when I was a teenager. The whole buzz of the record store was part of the experience. Buying an album was an event.” — Kate Bush
The records are all pressed on 180-gram vinyl at the world-renowned Record Industry plant in the Netherlands. New lacquers were cut from the 2018 remasters by Bernie Grundman and overseen by mastering engineer James Guthrie.
All designed by Kate and feature new Fish People label designs. They are protected in resealable poly-bag liners with a ‘Fish People Reissue’ obi.
Hounds of Love was Kate’s fifth studio album, and her second No. 1. It has since been certified double platinum in the U.K. by the British Phonographic Industry.
“In some respects, this was also Bush’s first fully realized album, done completely on her own terms, made entirely at her own 48-track home studio, to her schedule and preferences, and delivered whole to EMI as a finished work; that history is important, helping to explain the sheer presence of the album’s most striking element — the spirit of experimentation at every turn, in the little details of the sound. That vastly divergent grasp, from the minutiae of each song to the broad sweeping arc of the two suites, all heavily ornamented with layered instrumentation, makes this record wonderfully overpowering as a piece of pop music. Indeed, this reviewer hadn’t had so much fun and such a challenge listening to a new album from the U.K. since Abbey Road, and it’s pretty plain that Bush listened to (and learned from) a lot of the Beatles’ output in her youth.” — 4.5/5 Stars, AllMusic
