Bush, Kate
Lionheart
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Long out of print, limited edition half-speed mastered audiophile rarity from German label ATR. Glossy, NM- vinyl. Gatefold jacket, light seam rubs. Rear cover features small print starting with, "Daß ATR-MASTERCUT RECORDINGS". Released in quick succession after The Kick Inside, Lionheart deepens Kate Bush’s theatrical world rather than repeating it. Chamber-pop arrangements, music-hall flourishes, and literary narratives unfurl with painterly detail, revealing an artist already fluent in atmosphere and character. Tracks like “Wow” and “Hammer Horror” showcase her dramatic instincts, while the album’s softer moments carry an intimate, candlelit hush. Less a debut shock and more a nocturne, Lionheart rewards close listening with wit, imagination, and a quietly confident sense of craft.
