picdisc65 Nov 26, 2022
Second comment from me: people continually cite "Hounds of Love" as being Kate's 'masterpiece' and of course, it is! But mon dieu, this whole double album is simply magnificent and for me, this is her Magnum Opus. The whole suite that is "Sky of Honey" especially holds together as being a work of pure brilliance from an undoubted genius. Greatness on top of greatness. Simply astounding.
orblio Dec 20, 2020
I hear that all the violins will be removed from all future editions of Kate's albums because of the historical crimes the instrument committed by associating itself with oppressive males of high privilege.
joebaston Jun 4, 2019
I have the original 0946 3 43960 1 1, 343 960 1, KBALP01 pressing and it was indeed very bad but after a ultra sonic cleaning it came out beautifull in every way! I don't think it's normal to clean a new record but somehow in the production process something must have gone wrong. Anyway, once this record is cleaned, it sounds brilliant in any way! Anyone else expierenced this? Please let me know, kind regards from Schiedam
doctorg Feb 4, 2019
The original 2005 vinyl pressing was one of the worst I've ever owned or heard: soft, muffled, fluffy bass, crackle and non-fill throughout, distortion on peaks, heavy distortion at the end of each side. Really a shocking mastering job and dire pressing. I wonder if this reissue is any better?
fake_blues Oct 9, 2018
all the people with copies for sale for 500 quid crying into their cornflakes now the reissue been announced hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahah
bugglesman1993 Apr 12, 2018
Shame they cant release a version with paedophile Rolf's voice on.
belairjeff Dec 22, 2017
Kate! Reissue this record please! I want to give you money!
FortySomething Oct 10, 2017
In dire need of a remaster and reissue - surprised one has not happened.
