Hounds Of Love (Vinyl) (Reissue) (Import)
Vinyl Reissue!
Hounds of Love is the fifth studio album by English musician Kate Bush, first released on 16 September 1985 by EMI Records.
The album was a commercial and artistic success for Kate Bush, and marked a return to the public eye after the relatively low sales of her previous album, 1982’s The Dreaming. The album’s lead single, “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”, became one of Bush’s biggest hits, giving Bush her second UK number-one single in June 2022. The album’s first side produced three further singles, “Cloudbusting”, “Hounds of Love”, and “The Big Sky”. The second side, subtitled The Ninth Wave, forms a conceptual suite about a woman drifting alone in the sea at night.
Hounds of Love received critical acclaim in both contemporary and retrospective reviews. It is considered by many fans and music critics to be Bush’s best album, and has been regularly voted one of the greatest albums of all time. It was Bush’s second album to top the UK Albums Chart, and in the US it reached the top 40 on the Billboard 200.
