Out Now: Kate Bush, THE OTHER SIDES

Back in November, Rhino had a hand in releasing two box sets – or possibly four box sets, depending on whether you favor CDs or LPs, respectively – which were widely considered among the best reissues of 2018: Kate Bush’s REMASTERED sets. There was, however, one aspect of this reissue campaign which proved frustrating for some fans, and that was the inclusion of THE OTHER SIDES, a compilation that rounded up all of Bush’s rarities.

The frustrating bit, of course, was that all of the actual albums contained within the REMASTERED sets were already available separately, but that particular compilation was not. Fortunately for those fans, we’ve just rectified that situation: as of this past Friday, THE OTHER SIDES – a four-CD set – is available independently.

THE OTHER SIDES offers a plethora of B-sides, 12” mixes, and other rare tracks, including an entire disc’s worth of covers recorded by Bush, including a couple of classic Elton John songs (“Candle in the Wind,” “Rocket Man”) and “The Man I Love,” written by George and Ira Gershwin. Better yet, the set has hardcover packaging, so it’ll look swell on a bookshelf. You know, provided that it ever gets back on the shelf because of how much you’ll be playing it.

Wanna see the full track listing? We can oblige!
