KATE BUSH – DIRECTOR’S CUT (IMPORT Vinyl 2LP)

Product Description

Kate Bush Director’s Cut on Import 2LP

Inimitable Artist Revisits Tracks from The Sensual World and The Red Shoes With New Lead Vocal Performances

Several Songs Completely Re-Recorded for Unique Project

On Directors Cut, Kate Bush revisits a selection of tracks from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. Bush has re-recorded some elements here whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song, making the unique release something of a director’s cut in sound, but not in vision.

Bush says: “Originally when I wrote the song ‘The Sensual World’ I had used text from the end of ‘Ulysses’ by James Joyce, put to a piece of music I had written. When I asked for permission to use the text I was refused, which was disappointing. I then wrote my own lyrics for the song although I felt that the original idea had been more interesting.  Well, I’m not James Joyce am I? When I came to work on this project I thought I would ask for permission again and this time they said yes.   It is now re-titled ‘Flower Of the Mountain’ and I am delighted that I have had the chance to fulfill the original concept”.

All the lead vocals and drums on Director’s Cut are new performances, some of the tracks featuring guests including Steve Gadd, Danny Thompson and, on backing vocals, Mica Paris.  Three songs have been completely re-recorded, one of which is “This Woman’s Work”.

Bush adds: “For some time I have felt that I wanted to revisit tracks from these two albums and that they could benefit from having new life breathed into them. Lots of work had gone into the two original albums and now these songs have another layer of work woven into their fabric. I think of this as a new album”.
