KATE BUSH

THE KICK INSIDE

1978

HARVEST SW-11761

ETCHED WAYNE D MASTERED BY CAPITOL (STAMPED)

Amazing Kate Bush, love her or hate her, she always is memorable.  I happen to love her, which is why have all her body of work in one form or another.  This album was bought in Toronto, when I was living there from 1974-1980. She was about nineteen when she made this first masterpiece, writing some of the songs when she was thirteen for God's sake! loved every track, but especially "the Kick Inside".

 I can tell you that this album is in great condition for its age. Cover, envelope and vinyl are all in great condition. OK, here are the pertinent details:

• The cover has hardly any issues, slight rubbing on the corners....my albums were always kept on shelves when they being played, and in boxes in the basement or side room of my Cleveland house when they were not, so condition has never been much of a problem.  The spine is readable, no issues.
• The inner sleeve has some issues, it's plasticized with the EMI and Harvest artists albums on it. There is a split on the upper right side of about 5" and age has got to where the plastic and paper meet. Made in England, not Canada, I enjoy looking at the albums advertised, and reminiscing!
• Both sides of the vinyl are in great condition, some slight needle marks and scratches, but nothing to mar the quality of the recording. The matrix is etched with all sorts of numbers, scratched out and various symbols I really have no knowledge of, I can make out Wayne D, who seems to be on other Canadian albums of mine, and a stamped "mastered by Capitol".  I read somewhere that Canadian vinyl is often one pressing because there aren't that many stamping plants... this one was manufactured in  Mississauga, just north of Toronto. 
• I can't give you a play by play, my turntable is out of commission, however, what has happened is the turntable won't spin automatically...if I turn the table manually, DJ style, I do get sound.  There is a small dimple on side B, "Them Heavy People"  (Check out the photo) I've played that part turning the record manually, and detect no difference in the quality, no skips etc. So I am confident that the vinyl will play beautifully. If, when my turntable was working, and there was a problem, it would have been returned fast!
