THE WHOLE STORY

More than 90% of the time, if a record label, particularly on e of the major labels, releases a "best of" collection for any band or artist, the label will choose the most "accessable" music, creating, at least for a talented artist, a relatively bland listening experience. I'm happy to say that isn't the case with this collection. While the expected tracks, "Wuthering Heights" (with newly recorded vocals), "Running Up That Hill" and "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" (is that legal?) are here, most of the tracks are actually some of the more inventive from Kate Bush's EMI catalog.

It's a pleasure, then on this collection to find such delights as "Breathing", "The Dreaming" and "Babooshka". The variety on this collection makes it an excellent entry point into the music of Kate Bush (nearly all the best of which is on her EMI releases).
