It's coming…
Hmm.. of course the rare tracks are in the second CD box (that I otherwhise would not have bought)
I'm mostly just excited to have all of Kate's albums in two easy-to find (in my house!) box sets.
Kate Bush Its not Prog but excelent Pop Rock.
of course the bonus discs are not truly exhaustive but still nice to have a good uniform collection.
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
THE OTHER SIDE 1
Walk Straight Down The Middle
You Want Alchemy
Be Kind To My Mistakes
Lyra
Under The Ivy
Experiment IV
Ne T’Enfuis Pas
Un Baiser D’Enfant
Burning Bridge
Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) 2012 Remix
THE OTHER SIDE 2
Home For Christmas
One Last Look Around The House Before We Go
I’m Still Waiting
Warm And Soothing
Show A Little Devotion
Passing Through Air
Humming
Ran Tan Waltz
I have many of these but it would be nice to have them collected together and remastered on 2 discs

Yes, those other sides would be nice to have. I guess it's the vinyl set I will have to buy then.
Man, I wish those B-sides and extras were split up by era instead of tacked onto the second box. If those aren't offered seperately, I'll be a sad boy, I don't have a strong desire to have remasters of albums that sound fine as is.
A vie, a mort, et apres...
Re: Steve Wilson, in a recent TV interview, he said that he would love to tackle remixing Kate's catalog. Looks like he missed the boat!
I ordered both CD boxes from Amazon UK. The first box says #1 Bestseller - good for you, Kate! Will be interesting to see if the prices on these change at all. That artwork for the boxes is pretty strange, unless it's just placeholder art. Fits in with the "Fish People" look, but pretty random really. Whatever, I'll just be glad to have these all since for some stupid reason I sold off some of my original KB CDs back in the 90s.
I have most of the B-sides/Extras stuff, but I would have bought a set that was separate from the later albums. Oh well...
I am so, so very into this. 4 vinyl boxsets, here I come.
James Guthrie is listed as 'Sound Consultant, Mastering' on 'Before The Dawn', which does not fill me with hope, irrespective of his other accomplishments.
I guess Kate was only interested in remastering her albums, rather than letting SW or someone else re-mix them. Maybe he costs more than she was willing to pay. By the way, James Guthrie was the go-to sound engineer for PF & RW for years, whatever that's worth.
I had preordered these both from Amazon.co.uk, and then today got a sort of weird email saying they had a further price reduction if you ordered both together, but to get that reduction (a little less than a 15 UK pound reduction) I'd need to cancel my order and place a new one. Amazon.co.uk is supposed have the price guarantee, so I have no idea why they'd require this. I tried creating a new order for these and it WASN'T giving me that extra discount! Anyway, I then checked and Amazon.com now has these for preorder, and with Amazon Prime the cost is only like $2 more than what I would have paid Amazon.co.uk but I'll get them sooner.
But that email seemed weird. I looked at the links in the email and they don't seem fraudulent. If anyone places a new preorder for these from Amazon.co.uk I'd be interested to know if it does somehow give you that extra discount. Maybe it only happens AFTER you place the order?
I had a look and if I order Vol 1 and 2 together, I save £14.99 (for a total of £139.99). Or I can pre-order all four vinyl sets and save £34.97 (£324.99).
CD box 1 arriving tomorrow!
Man though, the cover art for the boxes looks godawful! I wish she or whoever had thought a bit about what her fans would want. They seem really ugly and random.
picked up Box 1 friday, listened to the first two discs so far, they sound great!
