A comment from Andrew Smith
Some of us remember saving up our pocket money and going to buy a cassette tape of "The Kick Inside" from Littlewoods in Cheltenham High Street in 1978! This is how it happened:1978 was the year I discovered Kate Bush. I remember hearing this weird voice and watching this even weirder dancing one morning on Noel Edmund's "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop". I was quite surprised that my dad, normally a Maria Callas fan, liked her voice and I soon got into it too and bought her first album, "The Kick Inside". At the time, I just had a top-loading mono cassette player and my dad wouldn't let me or my brother anywhere near his hi-fi, and of course tapes didn't come with the words. I loved Kate Bush's voice, but couldn't understand a word of what she was going on about, so I wrote to EMI and asked them to send me the lyrics, but they wouldn't. Bastards.
