Kate Bush Releases Before The Dawn Live Album

Kate Bush has announced she is releasing a live album of her Before The Dawn London performances.

In 2014, the singer made her return to the stage after 35 years away from the limelight. 80,000 tickets were sold in 15 minutes for Bush’s 22 nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.

Critics and fans hailed her performance as “spellbinding”, and it lead to her album sales soaring. She became the first female artist in history to have eight albums in the Top 40 at the same time, beating the previous record held by Madonna.

On November 25 the live LP Before The Dawn will be released on CD and vinyl – 3 CDs and 4 vinyl. The conceptual heart of the show is reflected in the CD format, which is split over 3 discs centred around the two integral pieces – ‘The Ninth Wave’ and ‘A Sky Of Honey’.

CD1 ends with the pivotal track ‘King Of The Mountain’ which bridges into ‘The Ninth Wave’ suite of songs on CD2.
