Kate Bush: The Kick Inside (1978)


The Canadian version of The Kick Inside has a different cover, one of at least seven in circulation. I hate it when record companies do that. My favourite piece of trivia about this record is how her song, Wuthering Heights, helped kick Emily Brontë's novel onto the bestseller list. That's cool. Of course, it also reminds me of how I once wrote an essay on Wuthering Heights in high school without having read the novel.

I really think that this album is amazing, especially given Kate's age at the time of release (19) and the age at which she wrote some of the songs (15-16). Moving, James and the Cold Gun, The Man with the Child in His Eyes, and the aforementioned Wuthering Heights are all fantastic.
