The first cd deals with 12 inch mixes (remember them?), which are more extensions of the originals than actual reinventions. It’s 34 tracks round up material that never made it onto albums, comprising B sides, remixes and cover versions – rather like another mercurial artist, Prince, in her prime Bush created a plethora of songs for which she just didn’t seem to have a ready outlet for release. It does not store any personal data.This four cd set was originally part of one of the box sets issued late last year, but now, as is often the way with these things, it’s been made available separately, which must be quite annoying if you bought said box set just to get hold of it.

THE OTHER SIDES KATE BUSH LIMITED TV
This is the first time this video has officially been released since its original TV broadcast.
Tragically, he died just before we made the video so he wasn’t able to be there with us but you’ll see his guitar was placed on an empty chair to show he was there in spirit. He was a truly special musician and a very dear friend. That meant I also had the chance to direct the video which I loved doing – making it a performance video, shot on black and white film, featuring all the musicians and… the Moon!Īlan Murphy played guitars on the track. It meant a great deal to me that they chose it to be the first single release from the album. I wanted to make it different from the original and thought it could be fun to turn it into a reggae version. They gave me complete creative control and although it was a bit daunting to be let loose on one of my favourite tracks ever, it was really exciting. To my delight they asked me to be involved and I chose Rocket Man. Years later in 1989, Elton and Bernie Taupin were putting together an album called Two Rooms, which was a collection of cover versions of their songs, each featuring a different singer. Most artists in the mid seventies played guitar but Elton played piano and I dreamed of being able to play like him. I couldn’t stop playing it – I loved it so much.
“ I remember buying this when it came out as a single by Elton John. Speaking about ‘Rocket Man’ (which is track one on ‘covers’ disc In Others’ Words) Kate today issued the following statement: Unlike Bowie’s ‘Re:Call’ compilations there was never any mention of this being exclusive to the box set, so I guess, that’s fair enough! Kate Bush will release her The Other Sides B-side compilation as a standalone 4CD set and has also officially made available the video for her 1991 cover of Elton John‘s Rocket Man and spoken about the making of the song and the video.Īlthough this four-disc package was available by itself on vinyl – as Remastered in Vinyl IV – to acquire this excellent array of B-sides and 12-inch mixes on CD meant buying the second of the two CD boxes which also includes Aerial, Director’s Cut, 50 Words For Snow and Before The Dawn. Not any more, as in March a 4CD set of The Other Sides will be available for less than £20.
