Hammer horror - Kate Bush

This is it: the first Kate Bush single I ever bought. All through 1978 I was captivated by Kate Bush. I've heard it many times in my life: hearing 'Wuthering Heights' is, for most people, a life-changing experience. Since I was only 7 years old at the time, my memory is hazy about this, but the fact that I bought this single in the autumn of 1978 is a testament to the fact that she stuck in my mind. I must have paid full price for it, and that was the first time I ever did that.

But it was worth it. 'Hammer horror' is an exciting piece of music and the sleeve, as you can see, carried a very beautiful picture of ms. Bush.

'Hammer horror' and the B-side, 'Coffee Homeground' were both taken from the album 'Lionheart', that would be released quickly after this.
