Another game of 7" roulette!
Side A:
Running Up That Hill
Side B:
Under The Ivy
After picking 'Babooshka' last time, 'Running Up That Hill' was the first random selection tonight. I guess the universe wants me to listen to more Kate Bush. And, who am I to argue? 'Running Up The Hill' is, of course, one of my favourite Kate Bush songs. As I'm sure it is for many people. It's pretty great. This 7" was another from my 7" binge of 2011. I actually can't remember if this was from the eBay guy mentioned in the last blogs, or if I picked this one up from one of the Music Exchange stores in London (which is odd, I usually have a 'Rain Man'-esque knack for remembering where I bought most of my records, and how much I paid).
Like 'Babooshka', my main interest here tonight is the b-side, in this case, 'Under The Ivy'. Like 'Ran Tan Waltz', I'm fairly sure I've never played it. Considering how much I love Hounds Of Love, I'm not sure why I've neglected a b-side from that record, but here we are. It's a shame, too. 'Under The Ivy' is really something. I've enjoyed it so much, I've just started it again for a third time. I think I've found a new favourite Kate Bush song. it's just beautiful (and, I've just started it for a fourth time).
Discoveries like this are part of the reason I wanted to do this blog in the first place.
