Limited Edition Japanese Albums
The Front of "The Kick Inside" in a limited edition japanese sleeve. I bought this while on holiday in japan with Tatsu. Inside there is a booklet along with a CD-sized picture, which appears to be the cover for the single wuthering heights backed with moving. However the writing on it is not japanese but english.
The Back of the japanese edition of "The Kick Inside".
Vinyls / Records Albums
"The Kick Inside" Vinyl. Bought from a charity shop.
If you look on the back of the album, there is a man flying an oriental kite, on the kite's wing is the "KT" symbol.
Front of "lionheart" vinyl. Bought in a charity shop. If you are blind and you didn't notice, on the box she is ... erm.. sitting.. crawling... on, there is the "KT" symbol etched into the side.
If you open the front like a book you can see the lyrics to all ten songs on the album, plus two pictures of kate in a similar style to the picture on the back.
If you look at kate's earrings you will see that they are actually the theatre masks, one is laughing for comedy and the other is sad, for tragedy. This i believe is connected to "wow" and or "Hammer horror".
Engraved on the actual Vinyl Record itself is a message in handwriting which says "I hope you like it!".
Front of "Never Forever" Vinyl. Bought again in a charity shop. All the creatures are coming from under kate's skirt. I remember reading an interview and it was something about how they represented all her ideas or something like that...
This has to be my favourite part of all the vinyls, the inside of never forever. The artwork is exquisite and if you look at the rose which the butterfly is resting on you will see a trickle of blood. Follow the rose stalk downwards and you will see a "KT" symbol at the bottom of the stalk.
A very unusual back cover concept. She must have sucked an awful lot of m&ms to make her tounge go that red!
Again bought in a charity shop. If you look carefully on her sleeve, between the pattern is a "KT" symbol. At first glance there appears to be a ring in her mouth. Look closer. It's a key, see?
"With a kiss I'd pass the Key..." This line is from "Houdini" and reflects the cover imagery.
Front of "Hounds of Love". I found this in a charity shop. I wonder how many shots they had to take before the dogs sat still hehe.
Inside. Cute, eh? I can't remember if the dogs were kate's or not but i get the vibe that maybe they were just random.
Inside. If you look closely at her sleeve and rotate the Record, what appears to be a thistle is the "KT" symbol.
Kate is suposed to by lying in water, however it looks as though she is standing.
Again from the charity shop. The Front of "The Whole story".
Inside there is more information about what other kate Cd's are available and more information about the tracks, e.g. where and when they were recorded.
The Back shows the "cloudbuster" from "cloudbusting". The boy is actually kate wearing a wig.

A sheet music book containing all of kate's music up until "The Whole Story". The book has the melody and chord diagrams, however unfortunately it doesn't have the actual backing music which is such a shame! This was a christmas present.
Inside there are also lots of rare Black and white photos along with a short introduction and biography. There is also a discography.
A not very old (but out of print!) magazine showing kate on the front cover, and the magazine's main article is on her. I will scan the article sometime, but i don't want to bend the magazine so i'll have to be careful.
This badge came free with the mojo magazine along with a few other famous people from the 80s, i was kinda shocked she was one of the people picked! go kate!
This Woman's work complete anthology box-set. Includes everything except the red shoes and aeriel. This boxset even includes rare songs and B-sides!
Yes, it is a huuuuuuge box!
The booklet that comes with it. Has some very nice pictures in it.

A Kate Bush biography. A very good read.
Kate Bush Related Stuff
Wuthering Heights, the book. Kate inspired me to buy this, and i enjoyed it very much. I cried at least twice during it. It is now my favourite book.
A book meant for people studying wuthing heights as a text.
Stephen King's "the shining". Kate Based her song "get out of my house" on this book, and so i bought and read it.
The film of "the shining". It was good, until the ending when it was spoiled. Actually it was a good ending on its own, but when you compare it to the book it is rubbish : )
