Eagle-eyed French fans (thanks Tristan!) spotted the latest Kate Bush Remastered special release on the French FNAC website:
Here’s the brief description: “Maxi Vinyl Kate Bush. Inclus deux titres rares chantés en français: Ne t’enfuis pas et Un baiser d’enfant.”
Both remastered tracks were included in Kate’s collection of rarities, The Other Sides, released in March this year. The cover uses the same photo from the original French Ne T’Enfuis Pas / Un Baiser D’Enfant single from July 1983 (shown below) but uses the distinctive Kate Bush Remastered font instead. Released on September 3rd, unlike Cloudbusting, there is no mention of a picture disc, so we may be looking at a regular double sided 12″ single here, which would be the first in that format since the rare Italian Rubberband Girl vinyl 12″ in 1993.
The disc is exclusively available in France (it seems) from the FNAC website, and, presumably in their stores around France come September. The vinyl disc is listed as a limited edition, but we don’t know how many there will be….quelle belle surprise!

A reissue of a reissue? Wonderful, Kate, just wonderful. But don’t you think think it might be time to release some new material?

My guess is Kate won’t release new music until it’s ready.

When asked why she wasn’t releasing live shows on dvd kate said she likes to move on to new stuff much to the despair of those that did see them, why then is she re releasing all her music!!

This is perhaps the most random reissue that nobody asked for. This was never a big hit (or even a minor hit!) and these are not exactly among Kate’s classic songs. And this will be available only in one country. With so much else she could have released (remastering the Hammersmith Odeon live show?), this is a headscratcher.
