Kate Bush: The Perfumed Garden Of Good And Evil
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 14 April 1979
DID YOU ever visit some distant relative for tea and cakes, and as a postscript have to sit through the "party piece" of their little girl, all rolling eyes and precocious gesturing? Kate Bush is a bit like that. Now, I'm the heartless sod who with a singular lack of vision numbered Kate's The Kick Inside album as a 'tax loss' flop, but I'm here to tell you I've seen the light, and the 'Wuthering Heights' too.
