Great 3rd Album, Great Packaging, Good Sound!

"Another album that's a work of art coming in the form of a Japanese mini-lp sleeve (mlps)format. Kate Bush's 3rd album was a resounding hit for her in Britain reaching #1 in a short space of time. 3 of her best hits are here: "Babooshka" (Russian for baby), "Breathing" and "Army Dreamers" but all the tracks are good. Unlike "The Kick Inside", this album although not remastered does sound a lot better. This brings up the question of whether or not the overall package is worth the much higher price if you already have the remastered version or even the normal version? In my opinion, if you don't already have this album and would like to get the great artwork of a mini-lp sleeve replica then this one's for you if the price doesn't scare you off. Otherwise, as this isn't remastered and so the sound quality isn't a significant improvement over the original release, don't bother getting this if you already have the remastered version or even if you already have this album. Track-wise though, this is one of Kate Bush's best albums. Recommended."
