Another good deal is the whole set in hi res from the German website, HighRes Audio (HRA); they mostly focus on classical releases and only in Hi Res quality (nothing less) and it’s just £34.40 at the moment – just over £1/track. Ideal if you’ve got all the regular album stuff on CD and/or Vinyl as I have……tuck in!
Vinyl Box 2 down to £58.44 and box 1 at £67.42 on uk amazon right now. I wasn’t going to buy these but couldn’t resist box 4 on Paul’s tip off last week. I’ve now ordered 1 & 2 and will wait for 3 to drop for the complete set.
Vinyl II down at £61.09. Only 3 albums in it but cheaper than it’s been for a while.
Not sure if you are aware Paul but Sainsburys have a 2 for £25 deal on vinyl at the moment and are stocking the stand alone 2018 remastered versions of both ‘The Dreaming’ and ‘Hounds of Love’ which are included. £12.50 per album for these really is a bargain. On checking my local store today [Westwood Cross, Margate] they appear to have expanded the range of titles in the deal which now also include 3 Pink Floyd vinyls – Dark Side of the Moon, A Foot in The Door and best of all…The Wall [normal price £25 so effectively if you purchase this album plus a.n.other it is buy one get one free]. Surprise surprise all were out of stock so you may find it tricky to take advantage of that…..but Kate Bush supplies were available.
Slightly amusingly the vinyl reissues of ‘Best of Cream’ [1969] and ‘Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy’ [The Who, 1971] are also included….however, each are priced at £12….so you may want to just put the 2 through the till separately and get them £1 cheaper than the ‘deal’………..someone in the promotions dept obviously failed Maths O Level….sorry GCSE for younger readers…
Good vinyl costs less…….[sorry I couldn’t resist]
Thanks for highlighting Richard. Certainly worth popping in if people (in the UK of course) have a Sainsbury’s that sells vinyl near them.
Paul – do you know if these remasters are going to hit streaming services (Spotify) at any point?
There all available to stream on Qobuz in hi-res 24bit 44.1kHz (and 16bit and MP3)….
Any word on the missing songs such as Ken or the music for the fruit juice commercials?
How about vocals done for others?
Dave
What word are you expecting? They aren’t on the albums, end of story.
If this message is taken down I will understand that it is against posting policies.
Not to encourage the circulation of “un-official” releases but there is an ultra high quality 4 cd collection called “Kate Bush – This Woman’s Complete Work” which includes all the tracks from the 2 bonus discs from the “This Woman’s Work” box set including “Ken”, along with a Hammersmith Odeon live show from The Tour of Life, plus misc. live cuts, alternate versions and one off tracks. A Google search should find it pretty easily. As far as I know this is about the only way to get stuff like “Ken” at this point without investing in “This Woman’s Work” box. Most of it can be found elsewhere but this is a really nice compilation.
Before the Dawn went down to £29 at one point, i wonder if these sets will follow suit, thanks for the info
I got it for £24.99 on Amazon last January.
Any chance this will be released on cd? I can dream!
Its on cd already, the cd-boxset #2.
Sorry, yes I was aware of that. I am hoping it will be released separately.
That’s not going to happen. It would make the second CD box totally redundant. Most fans wil have Ariel, Director’s Cut, 50WFS and Before The Dawn on CD. The “rarities” are the only reason to buy the box. Even then I’ll wait until the price drops more.
I’m sure this has been addressed at some point on a thread. Aren’t quite a few of these songs on This Woman’s Work ?
Got I and II for £58 each from Germany, but this is close enough. Thanks for the heads up….
I know it’s daft but I kinda don’t want to buy III on principle. Changing Aerial for starters, Never liked 90% of The Director’s Cut in the first place and can’t imagine that a remaster after 7 years will save it, in these ears. I might buy 50 words as a standalone as that is the best thing she has done since 1985 IMHO (just edging Aerial), and even 5% better will make that gem shine the more bright.
Thanks, most interested in this one. Ordered.
Thanks. Ordered
Thanks Paul…..Got 1,2 and 4 now….just need box number 3 to drop a little more!
