A more controversial opinion is that this is the weakest of her first five records (though the best tracks on this are better than those on Lionheart.

this new reissue is ugly and preposterous, what on earth. I guess the prices are really for the artwork, but the artwork is...not good?

Re the conversation about "Mother Stands For Comfort" above, it would only be like top 6 for me, but I used to include it on a lot of mixtapes paired with The Blue Nile's "Automobile Noise" as a kind of mini-suite of found-sound synth balladry.

$300 for a vinyl reissue with no new songs or anything, that is pretty obnoxious... is it for charity or something?

it's not clear at all. apparently she had a limited artwork like this as part of a War Child charity, and this is another go at that, but I don't think these go to War Child. Plus...it's not the full album! Most of these configurations are for like...1/2 the album

maybe this is to make the elevated prices of the colored vinyl reissues seem reasonable

No outtakes or 12 inch mixes (“The Big Sky” Meteorological Mix is outstanding)? Fuck this.

big agree there, beamish. stop neglecting remixes and long edits!
(lotta other 80s acts guilty of this schitt, too)
it's missing some stuff from the period, but this version is pretty hard to beat: https://www.discogs.com/release/7727012-Kate-Bush-Hounds-Of-Love
