Kate Bush’s Lionheart returns in this 2018 remastered LP edition, revisiting one of the most distinctive early chapters in her catalogue. Where her debut introduced the world to a singular voice and imagination, this record leans further into character-led songwriting—miniature scenes, strange rooms, and vivid story hooks that feel closer to theatre than typical pop. Across the set you’ll find fan favourites and deep cuts that reward repeat spins: the widescreen drama of “Wow,” the quirky bite of “Coffee Homeground,” the gothic snap of “Hammer Horror,” and the tender longing of “Oh England My Lionheart.” It’s an album that balances melody with eccentric detail, showing an artist already building her own universe. As a remastered reissue, it’s a smart way to get a clean, modern pressing of a historically important title without chasing older copies. If you’re filling gaps between the debut and the later masterpieces, Lionheart is essential context—and still a joy on its own terms.
Lionheart captures Kate Bush in rapid early evolution: bolder arrangements, sharper character work, and a fearless sense of drama. It bridges the leap from debut brilliance to the fully world-building albums that followed, making it a key listen for understanding how her art-pop language took shape.
This is the 2018 remastered reissue on LP, ideal for listeners who want a fresh, quiet-playing copy in the modern catalogue. Original early pressings can vary widely in condition, so this edition suits collectors who prioritise playback and consistency while still keeping the album’s classic artwork and sequencing intact.
The remaster presents clear vocals up front, lively midrange detail, and a tidy low end that keeps the theatrical arrangements readable. Expect dynamic, song-to-song shifts rather than a single “smooth” mood.
Recommended for: listeners exploring Kate Bush beyond the debut; fans of art pop with theatrical storytelling; collectors building a core late-70s British pop shelf; anyone who loves quirky, melodic, character-driven songwriting.
Is this the original album or a compilation? It’s the full Lionheart studio album, presented here as a 2018 remastered LP reissue. What are the standout tracks? Highlights often include “Wow,” “Hammer Horror,” “Coffee Homeground,” and “Oh England My Lionheart,” alongside deeper, moodier cuts that grow with repeat listens. Will this suit someone new to Kate Bush? Yes—especially if you enjoy adventurous pop. If you want the most immediate entry point, start with the debut too, then come back to Lionheart for the richer character pieces.
