Kate Bush needs a new 'Best Of' collection
Hasn't it been something like 25 years since The Whole Story? Kate Bush needs a new collection of singles and popular album tracks - a retrospective as opposed to a 'greatest hits'.
What would you like to see on there? |

I agree she does. Although i wouldn't buy it as i enjoy her album tracks a lot more
She owns full rights from The Sensual world onwards so she could easily do a volume 2 of The Whole Story with singles from that album onwards. |

I'd like to see all the albums remastered, The Red Shoes was remastered last year and it's fantastic. A re-release of the Hammersmith show & live album. A new singles collection with a deluxe edition of all her music videos, possibly in HD ![]() Maybe in 6 years when it's the 40th anniversary of Wuthering Heights, she may come around to the idea of a "40 years of Kate Bush" or something. |

there's not a single 'best of' i can think of that is actually a 'best of' of anyone's work. Studio albums are where the best work is to be found

Kate's work always shines best on the albums on which they came from and to appreciate her fully you need to hear those albums and TBH The Whole Story wasn't exactly something to write home about so i think on this occasion i will disagree.

THS and Directors Cut are out there and stand as good introductory albums and it just seems a bit unnecessary as you can get many of her studio albums cheap anyway.
But if i had to choose a tracklisting: Wuthering Heights (original vocal) The Man With The Child in his eyes Hammer Horror Wow Babooshka Breathing Army Dreamers Sat In Your Lap The Dreaming Running up that hill hounds of love cloudbusting the big sky the sensual world this womans work love and anger Rubberband girl And so is love King of the mountain Deeper Understand (2011) Wild man |

It's a Peter Gabriel track, but it wouldn't be out of place on a best of Kate

As what Gh's do, your list included every single she released. And it is Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush but he wrote it etc so it is his like Snowed in at wheeler street Elton has a place on it but it is hers. |

I would have no problem with an updated GH album, along with a DVD of all of her vids....it is also about time that a DVD of one of her live shows was released

I wouldn't mind the idea of a retrospective if i didnt keep thinking just get the studio's instead thats why i would be more in favour of an updated Gh as only 12 songs and not necessarily her best just doesn't cut it maybe she could do a fan poll on her web perhaps but then again she is a perfectionist.

The track was written by Gabriel and appeared on his album "So" as well as several Gabriel best-of compilations since. Kate's vocal was a guest appearance. Gabriel wanted Dolly Parton for it originally but she turned it down.

up until recently I only really knew Wuthering Heights but in the last few months thanks to certain tv shows I have discoverd Running up that hill and This womans work and by listening to them online discoverd I also know Babooska, hounds of love and Dont give up....also from comments below videos i can see tht a number of people around my age(early 20s)are in the same position of just discovering her so maybe now would be the best time for a greatest hits
