Kate Bush's first album, The Kick Inside, released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old (but featuring some songs written at 15 and recorded at 16), is her most unabashedly romantic, the sound of an impressionable and highly precocious teenager spreading her wings for the first time.
The centrepiece is "Wuthering Heights," which was a hit everywhere except the United States (and propelled the Emily Brontë novel back onto the best-seller lists in England), but there is a lot else here to enjoy: The disturbing "Man with the Child in His Eyes," the catchy rocker "James and the Cold Gun," and "Feel It," an early manifestation of Bush's explorations of sexual experience in song, which would culminate with "Hounds of Love."

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - some roughness to label one - barely played with just one discernible spindle trace
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Wonderful LP with an incredibly impressive EMI cut - crystal clear, full, rich, detailed and beautifully warm sound and my play-check at volume found nothing to fault - sounds absolutely gorgeous
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Apart from some tiny damage on the back bottom edge where most likely the still warm laminate has stuck to another stacked cover, the sleeve is crisp, clean and sharp with a deep gloss to the surfaces
